1. Soil Moisture Variability on Golf Course Fairways Across the United States: an Opportunity for Water Conservation with Precision IrrigationFairways account for an average of 11.3 irrigated hectares on each of the 15,000+ golf courses in the US. Annual median water use per hectare on fairways is between ~2,800,000 and 14,000,000 liters, depending on the region. Conventional fairway irrigation relies on visual observation of the turfgrass, followed by secondary considerations of short-term weather forecasts, which oftentimes lead to “blanket” applications to the entire area. The concept of precision irrigation is a strategy... C. Straw, C. Bolton, J. Young, R. Hejl, J. Friell, E. Watkins |
2. Drought Tolerance Assessment with Statistical and Deep Learning Models on Hyperspectral Images for High-throughput Plant PhenotypingDrought is an important factor that severely restricts blueberry growth, output and adversely impacts the desirable physiologic quality. Considering the challenges posed by climate change and erratic weather patterns, evaluating the drought tolerance of blueberry plants is not only vital for the agricultural industry but also for ensuring a consistent supply of these nutritious berries to consumers. Blueberry plants have a relatively ineffective water regulation mechanism due to their shallow... M. Rahman, S. Busby, A. Sanz-saez, S. Ru, T. Rehman |
