1. Bayesian Methods for Predicting LAI and Soil MoistureCrop models describe the growth and development of a crop interacting with soil, climate, and management... M. Majdi, D. Benjamin, D. Marie-france |
2. Row-Crop Planter Requirements To Support Variable-Rate Seeding Of MaizeCurrent planting technology possesses the ability to increase crop productivity and improve field efficiency by precisely metering and placing crop seeds. Growing high yielding crops not only requires using the right seed variety and rate but also achieving optimal performance with available planter technology. Planter performance depends on using the correct planter and technology (display and rate controller system) setup which consists of determining optimal settings for different planting... J.P. Fulton, K.S. Balkcom, B.V. Ortiz, T.P. Mcdonald, G.L. Pate, S.S. Virk, A. Poncet |
3. Using the Adapt-N Model to Inform Policies Promoting the Sustainability of US Maize ProductionMaize (Zea mays L.) production accounts for the largest share of crop land area in the U.S. It is the largest consumer of nitrogen (N) fertilizers but has low N Recovery Efficiency (NRE, the proportion of applied N taken up by the crop). This has resulted in well-documented environmental problems and social costs associated with high reactive N losses associated with maize production. There is a potential to reduce these costs through precision management, i.e., better application timing, use... S. Sela, H. Van-es, E. Mclellan, J. Melkonian, R. Marjerison , K. Constas |
4. Analysis of High Yield Condition Using a Rice Yield Predictive ModelRice production in Japan is facing problems of yield and quality instability owing to recent climate changes and a decline in rice prices, and possible competition with foreign inexpensive rice. Thus, it is becoming more important to stably achieve high yield and quality, while reducing production costs. Various data, including crop growth, farmer’s management styles, yield and quality, has recently become accessible in actual fields using advanced information and communication technologies.... Y.

5. Measurement of In-field Variability for Active Seeding Depth Applications in Southeastern USProper seeding depth control is essential to optimize row-crop planter performance, and adjustment of planter settings to within field spatial variability is required to maximize crop yield potential. The objectives of this study were to characterize planting depth response to varying soil conditions within fields, and to discuss implementation of active seeding depth technologies in Southeastern US. This study was conducted in 2014 and 2015 in central Alabama for non-irrigated maize (Zea mays... A.M. Poncet, J.P. Fulton, T.P. Mcdonald, T. Knappenberger, R.W. Bridges, J. Shaw, K. Balkcom |
6. Use of Radar SAR Images to Assess Soil Moisture in Cane Crops: Practical Implications in Agricultural OperationSugar cane cultivation in the geographical region of the Cauca River Valley is a key industry for the local economy. However, this crop faces constant challenges related to the management of agricultural machinery for soil cultivation in conditions of high soil moisture. In this context, the synthetic aperture radar (SAR Radar) of the Sentinel 1 satellite emerges as a promising technology. The purpose of this work is to explore the use of the Sentinel 1 satellite SAR radar sensor in sugarcane... O.J. Munar-vivas, S. Anderson guerrero, D.F. Angrino chiran, J.F. Mateus-rodriguez |
