1. Sensor-based Nitrogen Applications Out-performed Producer-chosen Rates for Corn in On-farm DemonstrationsOptimal nitrogen fertilizer rate for corn can vary substantially within and among fields. Current N management practices do not address this variability. Crop reflectance sensors offer the potential to diagnose crop N need and control N application rates at a fine spatial scale. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of sensor-based variable-rate N applications to corn, relative to constant N rates chosen by the producer. Fifty-five replicated on-farm demonstrations... P. Scharf, K. Shannon, K. Sudduth, N. Kitchen |
2. Precision Farming Basics Manual - a Comprehensive Updated Textbook for Teaching and Extension EffortsToday precision agricultural technologies are limited by the lack of a workforce that is technology literate, creative, innovative, fully trained in their discipline, able to utilize and interpret information gained from information-age technologies to make smart management decisions, and have the capacity to convert locally collected information into practical solutions. As part of a grant entitled Precision Farming Workforce Development: Standards, Working Groups, and Experimental Learning... K. Shannon |
3. Delineation of Site-specific Management Zones with Proximal Data and Multi-spectral ImageryMany findings suggested that it’s possible to improve the accuracy of delineating site-specific management zones (SSMZs) through a combination of proximal data with remote sensing imagery. The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of delineating SSMZs with a wide range of ancillary data (proximal survey and multi-spectral data). The study area is a 22.1acre located 10 miles north of Fort Collins, CO and is known for having a high spatial and temporal variability of soil properties.... W.A. Yilma, J. Siegfried, R. Khosla |
