1. Detection Of Nitrogen Deficiency In Potatoes Using Small Unmanned Aircraft SystemsSmall Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) are recognized as potentially important remote-sensing platforms for precision agriculture. A nitrogen rate experiment was established in 2013 with ‘Ranger Russet’ potatoes by applying four rates of nitrogen fertilizer (112, 224, 337, and 449 kg N/ha) in a randomized block design with 3 replicates. A Tetracam Hawkeye sUAS and Agricultural Digital Camera Lite sensor were used to collect imagery with near-infrared... D.A. Horneck, D.J. Gadler, A.E. Bruce, R.W. Turner, C.B. Spinelli, J.J.

2. Within-field Profitability Assessment: Impact of Weather, Field Management and SoilsProfitability in crop production is largely driven by crop yield, production costs and commodity prices. The objective of this study was to quantify the often substantial yet somewhat illusive impact of weather, management, and soil spatial variability on within-field profitability in corn and soybean crop production using profitability indices for profit (net return) and return-on-investment (ROI) to produce estimates. We analyzed yield and cropping system data provided by 42 farmers within Central... P.M. Kyveryga, S. Fey, J. Connor, A. Kiel, D. Muth |
3. Advancements in Agrivoltaics: Autonomous Robotic Mowing for Enhanced Management in Solar FarmsAgrivoltaics – the co-location of solar energy installations and agriculture beneath or between rows of photovoltaic panels – has gained prominence as a sustainable and efficient approach to land use. The US has over 2.8 GW in Agrivoltaics, integrating crop cultivation with solar energy. However, effective vegetation management is critical for solar panel efficiency. Flat, sunny agricultural land accommodates solar panels and crops efficiently. The challenge lies in managing grass... S. Behera, S. Pitla |
