1. Computer Aided Engineering Analysis and Design Optimization for Precision Manufacturing of Tillage Tool: Sweep CultivatorThe process optimization in advance tillage tool system conceptually designed and fabricated by computer aided engineering analysis techniques. The Software testing a field performance is taken in the soil bed preparation as well as in the various crop patterns. It was found most use full in obtaining high weed removal efficiency. The precision geometry, optimum energy utilization, multi-operational design, easy transport and flexible attachments are some of the features which results in achieving... G.U. Shinde, D.M.

2. A New Approach to Yield Map CreationOne of the barriers to using yield maps as a data layer in precision agriculture activities is that the maps being generated to day are not very accurate in representing what really happened in field. Numerous data errors in the way the data is collected, poor calibration habits on the part of operators... C. Romier, M. Hyrien, D. Lamker |
3. Nitrogen Loss In Corn Production Varies As A Function Of Topsoil DepthUnderstanding availability and loss potential of nitrogen for varying topsoil depths of poorly-drained claypan soil landscapes could help producers make improve decisions when managing crops for feed grain or bio-fuels. While it has been well documented that topsoil depth on these soils plays an important role in storing water for crop growth, it is not well known how this same soil... E. Allphin, N.R. Kitchen, K.A. Suddeth, A. Thompson |
4. Application Of A Canopy MultisensorThe MobilLas mobile canopy sensor was initially developed for variable rate fertilisation and plant protection. Because of the several canopy variables sensed the sensor has wider application in crop and soil variability studies, detailed crop water balance studies, spatial modelling of photosynthesis... A. Thomsen, K. Schelde |
5. Development of a Multispectral Sensor for Crop Canopy Temperature MeasurementQuantifying spatial and temporal variability in plant stress has precision agriculture applications in controlling variable rate irrigation and variable rate nutrient application. One approach to plant stress detection is crop canopy temperature measurement by the use of thermographic or radiometric methods, generally in the long wave infrared (LWIR) wavelength range. A confounding factor in LWIR canopy temperature estimation is eliminating the effect of the soil background in the image. One approach... P. Drew, K.A. Sudduth, E. Sadler |
6. Analysis of Soil Properties Predictability Using Different On-the-Go Soil Mapping SystemsUnderstanding the spatial variability of soil chemical and physical attributes allows for the optimization of the profitability of nutrient and water management for crop development. Considering the advantages and accessibility of various types of multi-sensor platforms capable of acquiring large sensing data pertaining to soil information across a landscape, this study compares data obtained using four common soil mapping systems: 1) topography obtained using a real-time kinematic (RTK) global...

7. Nitrogen Status Prediction on Pasture Fields Can Be Reached Using Visible Light UAV Data Combined with Sentinel-2 ImageryPasture fields under integrated crop-livestock system usually receive low or no nitrogen fertilization rates, since the expectation is that nitrogen demand will be provided by the soybean remaining straw cropped previously. However, keeping nitrogen at suitable levels in the entire field is the key to achieving sustainability in agricultural production systems. In this sense, remote sensing technologies play an essential role in nitrogen monitoring in pastures and crops. With the launch of the... F.R. Pereira, J.P. Lima, R.G. Freitas, A.A. Dos reis, L.R.

8. Precision Nitrogen and Water Management for Optimized Sugar Beet Yield and Sugar ContentSugar beet (SB) production profitability is based on maximizing three parameters: beet yield, sucrose content, and sucrose recovery efficiency. Efficient nitrogen (N) and water management are key for successful SB production. Nitrogen deficits in the soil can reduce root and sugar yield. Overapplication of N can reduce sucrose content and increase nitrate impurities which lowers sucrose recovery. Application of N in excess of SB crop need leads to vigorous canopy growth, while compromising root... O.S. Walsh, S. Shafian |
9. Spatio-temporal Analysis of Soil Moisture and Turfgrass Health to Investigate the Temporal Stability of Variable Rate Irrigation ZonesThe western USA has been experiencing severe drought conditions for at least the last 20 years. The population in many areas of the west, like Utah, has also increased greatly in this time putting greater strain on the limited freshwater supply. While agriculture is generally the sector consuming the largest proportion of freshwater, conversion of agricultural land to urban areas with lawns, parks and playing fields may result in some reduction of water use, but the EPA have estimated that as...
