1. Laboratory Evaluation of Two VNIR Optical Sensor Designs for Vertical Soil SensingVisible and near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (VNIR) is becoming an extensively researched technology to predict soil properties such as soil organic carbon, inorganic carbon, total nitrogen, moisture for precision agriculture. Due to its rapid, non-destructive nature and ability to infer multiple soil properties simultaneously, engineers have been trying to develop proximal sensors based on the VNIR technology to enable horizontal soil sensing and mapping. Since the vertical variation... N. Wijewardane, Y. Ge |
2. Precision Fall Urea Fertilizer Applications: Timing Impact on Carbon Dioxide, Ammonia Volatilization and Nitrous Oxide EmissionsTo minimize ammonia (NH3) volatilization and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from fall applied fertilizer, it is generally recommended to not apply the fertilizer until the soil temperature decreases below 10 C. However, this recommendation is not based on detailed measurements of NH3and N2O emissions. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of fertilizer application timing on nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and ammonia volatilization emissions. Nitrogen fertilizer was... S.

3. Predicting Soybean Yield Using Remote Sensing and a Machine Learning ModelSoybean (Glycine max L.), a nutrient-rich legume crop, is an important resource for both livestock feed and human dietary needs. Accurate preharvest yield prediction of soybeans can help optimize harvesting strategies, enhance profitability, and improve sustainability. Soybean yield estimation is inherently complex because yield is influenced by many factors including growth patterns, varying crop physiological traits, soil properties, within-field variability, and weather conditions. The objective... M. Gardezi, O. Walsh, D. Joshi, S. Kumari, D.E. Clay, J. Rathore |
