1. Evaluation of the Effects of Telone Ii on Nitrogen Management and Yield in Louisiana Delta CottonResearch indicates that cotton yield on light soils within the alluvial flood plain of the Lower Mississippi delta may be increased by using chemical fumigation applications of Telone II and/or seed treatments to control infestations of plant parasitic nematodes. There is a documented interaction with fumigation and nitrogen and therefore a need to further understand the performance of site- specific treatment strategies for nitrogen (N) and fumigation treatments. In a small plot test conducted... E. Burris, D. Burns, K.S. Mccarter, C. Overstreet, M. Wolcott |
2. Can Optimization Associated with On-Farm Experimentation Using Site-Specific Technologies Improve Producer Management Decisions?Crop production input decisions have become increasingly difficult due to uncertainty in global markets, input costs, commodity prices, and price premiums. We hypothesize that if producers had better knowledge of market prices, spatial variability in crop response, and weather conditions that drive crop response to inputs, they could more cost-effectively make profit-maximizing input decisions. Understanding the drivers of variability in crop response and designing accompanying management strategies... B.D. Maxwell, A. Bekkerman, N. Silverman, R. Payn, J. Sheppard, C. Izurieta, P.

3. Decision Support from On-field Precision ExperimentsEmpirically driven adaptive management in large-scale commodity crop production has become possible with spatially controlled application and sub-field scale crop monitoring technology. Site-specific experimentation is fundamental to an agroecosystem adaptive management (AAM) framework that results in information for growers to make informed decisions about their practices. Crop production and quality response data from combine harvester mounted sensors and internet available remote sensing data... B.D. Maxwell, P.D. Hegedus, S.D. Loewen, H.D. Duff, J.W. Sheppard, A.D. Peerlinck, G.L. Morales, A. Bekkerman |
4. 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 |
