1. Optimizing Site-Specific Adaptive Management Using A Probabilistic Framework: Evaluating Model Performance Using Historic DataAgricultural producers are tasked with managing crop yield responses to nitrogen (N) within systems that have high levels of spatial (biophysical), climatic, and price uncertainty. To date, the outcome of most variable rate application (VRA) research has focused on the spatial dimension, proposing optimal fertilizer prescription maps that can be applied year after year. However, temporally static prescriptions can result in suboptimal outcomes, particularly if they do... L.J. Rew, B.D. Maxwell, P.G. Lawrence |
2. Near-Real-Time Remote Sensing And Yield Monitoring Of Biomass CropsThe demand for bioenergy crops production has increased tremendously by the biofuel industry for substitution of traditional fuels due to the economic availability and environmental benefits. Pre-Harvest monitoring of biomass production is necessary to develop optimized instrumentation and data processing systems for crop growth, health and stress monitoring; and to develop algorithms for field operation scheduling. To cope with the problems of missing critical... Y. Zhao, L. Li, K.C. Ting, L.F. Tian, T. Ahamed |
3. Field-Based High-Throughput Phenotyping Approach For Soybean Plant ImprovementThe continued development of new, high yielding cultivars needed to meet the world’s growing food demands will be aided by improving the technology to rapidly phenotype potential cultivars. High-throughput phenotyping (HTP) is essential to maximize the greatest value of genetics analysis and to better understand the plant biology and physiology in view of a “Feed the World in 2050” theme. Field-based high-throughput phenotyping platform... L. Li, D. Jiang, R.P. Campos, Z. Lu, L.F. Tian |
4. Multispectral Imaging and Elevation Mapping from an Unmanned Aerial System for Precision Agriculture ApplicationsAs the world population continues to grow, the need for efficient agricultural production becomes more pressing. The majority of farmers still use manual techniques (e.g. visual inspection) to assess the status of their crops, which is tedious and subjective. This paper examines an operational and analytical workflow to incorporate unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into the process of surveying and assessing crop health. The proposed system has the potential to significantly reduce... C. Lum, M. Dunbabin, C. Shaw-feather, M. Mackenzie, E. Luker |
5. Integrated Analysis of Multilayer Proximal Soil Sensing DataData revealing spatial soil heterogeneity can be obtained in an economically feasible manner using on-the-go proximal soil sensing (PSS) platforms. Gathered georeferenced measurements demonstrate changes related to physical and chemical soil attributes across an agricultural field. However, since many PSS measurements are affected by multiple soil properties to different degrees, it is important to assess soil heterogeneity using a multilayer approach. Thus, analysis of multiple layers of geospatial... V.I. Adamchuk, N. Dhawale, A. Biswas, S. Lauzon, P. Dutilleul |
6. Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Active-Optical Sensor to Monitor Growth Indices and Nitrogen Nutrition of Winter WheatUsing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing monitoring system can rapidly and cost-effectively provide crop canopy information for growth diagnosis and precision fertilizer regulation. RapidScan CS-45 (Holland, Lincoln, NE, USA) is a portable active-optical sensor designed for timely, non-destructive obtaining plant canopy information without being affected by weather condition. UAV equipped with RapidScan, is of great significant for rapidly monitoring crop growth and nitrogen (N) status.... X. Liu, Q. Cao, Y. Tian, Y. Zhu, Z. Zhang, W. Cao |
7. Using a UAV-Based Active Canopy Sensor to Estimate Rice Nitrogen StatusActive canopy sensors have been widely used in the studies of crop nitrogen (N) estimation as its suitability for different environmental conditions. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a low-cost remote sensing platform for its great flexibility compared to traditional ways of remote sensing. UAV-based active canopy sensor is expected to take the advantages of both sides. The objective of this study is to determine whether UAV-based active canopy sensor has potential for monitoring rice N status,... S. Li, Q. Cao, X. Liu, Y. Tian, Y. Zhu |
