1. Estimating Soil Quality Indicators with Diffuse Reflectance SpectroscopyKnowledge of within-field spatial variability in soil quality indicators is important to assess the impact of site-specific management on the soil. Standard methods for measuring these properties require considerable time and expense, so sensor-based approaches would be... R.J. Kremer, N.R. Kitchen, K.A. Sudduth, D.B. Myers |
2. Physiological Repsonses Of Corn To Variable Seeding Rates In Landscape-Scale Strip TrialsMany producers now have the capability to vary seeding rates on-the-go. Methods are needed to develop variable rate seeding approaches in corn but require an understanding of the physiological response of corn to soil-landscape and weather conditions. Interplant competition fundamentally differs at varied seeding rate and may affect corn leaf area, transpiration, plant morphology, and assimilate partitioning. Optimizing these physiological effects with optimal seeding rates in a site-specific... D.B. Myers, N.R. Kitchen, K.A. Sudduth, B.J. Leonard |
3. Seasonal Patterns of Vegetative Indices Over Cropping SystemsRemote sensing of reflectance in the visible and near-infrared portions of the spectrum has been used for agronomic applications for a number of years. The combination of different wavelengths into vegetative indices have proven useful for a variety of applications that range from biomass, leaf area, leaf chlorophyll, yield, crop residue, and crop damage. To help refine our understanding of vegetative indices studies were conducted on corn (Zea mays L.), soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), wheat... J.L. Hatfield, J.H. Prueger |
4. Developing Nitrogen Algorithms for Corn Production Using Optical SensorsRemote sensing for nitrogen management in cereal crops has been an intensive research area due to environmental concerns and economic realities of today’s agronomic system. In the search for improved nitrogen rate decisions, what approach is most often taken and are those approaches justified through scientific investigation? The objective of this presentation is to educate decision makers on how these algorithms are developed and evaluate how well they work in the field on a small-plot... R.W. Mullen, S.B. Phillips, W.R. Raun, W.E. Thomason |
5. Optimization of Batch Processing of High-density Anisotropic Distributed Proximal Soil Sensing Data for Precision Agriculture PurposesThe amount of spatial data collected in agricultural fields has been increasing over the last decade. Advances in computer processing capacity have resulted in data analytics and artificial intelligence becoming hot topics in agriculture. Nevertheless, the proper processing of spatial data is often neglected, and the evaluation of methods that efficiently process agricultural spatial data remains limited. Yield monitor data is a good example of a well-established methodology for data processing... F. Hoffmann silva karp, V. Adamchuk, A. Melnitchouck, P. Dutilleul |
6. The Evaluation of NDVI Response Index Consistency Using Proximal Sensors, UAV and SatellitesThe Response Index NDVI (RINDVI) is described as the response of crops to additional nitrogen (N) fertilizer. It is calculated by dividing the NDVI of the high-N plot (N-rich strip) by the NDVI of the zero-N plot or farmer's practice where less pre-plant N was applied (Arnall and al., 2016). RI values are used to predict yield and monitor top dress N fertilization. Many research has been carried out to determine the difference... S. Phillips, B. Arnall, M. Maatougui |
7. Predicting Soil Chemical Properties Using Proximal Soil Sensing Technologies and Topography Data: a Case StudyUsing proximal soil sensors (PSS) is widely recognized as a strategy to improve the quality of agricultural soil maps. Nevertheless, the signals captured by PSS are complex and usually relate to a combination of processes in the soil. Consequently, there is a need to explore further the interactions at the source of the information provided by PSS. The objectives of this study were to examine the relationship between proximal sensing techniques and soil properties and evaluate the feasibility... F. Hoffmann silva karp, V. Adamchuk, P.
