1. 'Spatial Discontinuity Analysis' a Novel Geostatistical Algorithm for On-farm ExperimentationTraditional agronomic experimentation is restricted to small plots. Under appropriate experimental designs the effects of uncontrolled environmental variables are minimized and the measured responses (e.g. in yields) are compared to controllable inputs (seed, tillage, fertilizer, pesticides) using well-trusted design-based statistical methods. However, the implementation of such experiments can be complex and the application, management, and harvesting of treated areas might have to... S. Rudolph, B.P. Marchant, V. Gillingham, D.

2. On-Farm Digital Solutions and Their Associated Value to North American FarmersDigital tools and data collection have become standard in a wide variety of present day agricultural operations. An array of digital tools, such as high resolution operational mapping, remote sensing, and farm management software offer solutions to many of the problems in modern agriculture. These technologies and services can, if implemented correctly, provide both immediate and long term agronomic value. A growing number of producers in Ohio and around North America question the proper method... R. Colley iii, J. Fulton, N. Douridas, K. Port |
3. Field Level Management and Data Verification of Variable Rate Fertilizer ApplicationIncreased cost efficiencies and ease of use make spinner-disc spreaders the primary method of applying fertilizers throughout much of the United States. Recently, advances in spreader systems have enabled multiple fertilizer products to be applied at variable application rates. This provides greater flexibility during site-specific management of in-field fertility. Physical and aerodynamic properties vary for fertilizer granules of different sources and densities, these properties in turn affect... R. Colley iii, J. Fulton, S. Virk, E. Hawkins |
4. Development of a Graphical User Interface for Spinner-Disc Spreader Calibration and Spread Uniformity AssessmentBroadcast fertilizer distribution through spinner-disc spreaders remain the most cost-effective, and least time consuming process to apply the needed soil amendments for the next crop. Spreaders currently available to producers enable them to apply a variety of granular products at varying rates, blends, and swath widths. In order to uniformly apply granular fertilizer or lime, the spreader should be calibrated by standard pan testing with any change in spreader settings, application rate, or... R. Colley iii, Y. Lin, J. Fulton, S. Shearer |
5. Overview and Value of Digital Technologies for North American Soybean ProducersIn the current state of digital agriculture, many digital technologies and services are offered to assist North American soybean producers. Opportunities for capturing and analyzing information related to soybean production methods are made available through the adoption of these technologies. However, often it is difficult for producers to know which digital tools and services are available to them or understand the value they can provide. The objective of this... J. Lee, J. Fulton, K. Port, R. Colley iii |
6. Decision Support Tools for Developing Aflatoxin Risk Maps in Peanut FieldsAspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus hereafter referred to jointly as A. flavus, are soil fungi that infect and contaminate preharvest and postharvest peanuts with the carcinogenic secondary metabolite aflatoxin. A. flavus can cause extensive economic losses to peanut growers and shellers by contaminating peanut kernels with aflatoxins. In the southeastern U.S., contamination from aflatoxin continues to be a major threat to the peanut industry and... G. Vellidis, M. Abney, T. Burlai, J. Fountain, R.C. Kemerait, S. Kukal, L.

7. Predicting the Spatial Distribution of Aflatoxin Hotspots in Peanut Fields Using DSSAT CSM-CROPGRO-PEANUT-AFLATOXINAflatoxin contamination in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a persistent concern due to its detrimental effects on both profitability and public health. Several plant stress-inducing factors, including high soil temperatures and low soil moisture, have been associated with aflatoxin contamination levels. Understanding the correlation between stress-inducing factors and contamination levels is essential for implementing effective management strategies. This study uses the DSSAT CSM-CROPGRO-Peanut-Aflatoxin... S. Maktabi, G. Vellidis, G. Hoogenboom, K. Boote, C. Pilcon, J. Fountain, M. Sysskind, S. Kukal |
