1. Indirect Measurement Of Creeping Bentgrass N, Chlorophyll, And Color For Precision Golf Green ManagementIndirect measurement of turfgrass tissue through optical sensing may provide golf course managers with non-destructive and relatively simple real-time measurements of golf green N requirements. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of N rate on ‘Crenshaw’ creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) tissue N, chlorophyll concentration, and color using the GreenSeeker (NTech Industries, Ukiah, CA) handheld sensor. Plots... J.Q. Moss, G.E. Bell |
2. Development Of A Precision Sensing Sprayer For The Application Of Nitrogen Fertilizer To TurfgrassNormalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) may be very useful for turfgrass managers to measure turf quality and obtain an indirect measurement of turf N status. The objective of this research was to develop a Nitrogen Fertilization Optimization Algorithm (NFOA) for use in a turfgrass variable rate N applicator on bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers] fairways and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) greens in Oklahoma. Plots (0.9 X 1.5 m)... J.Q. Moss, G.E. Bell, J.B. Solie, M.L. Stone, D.L. Martin, M.E. Payton |
3. A Preliminary Evaluation Of Proximity Loggers To Detect Oestrus Behaviour In Grazing Dairy Cows... D. Mcneill, G.J. Bishop-hurley, L. Irvine, M. Freeman, R. Bellenguez |
4. Are Thermal Images Adequate For Irrigation Management?Thermal crop sensing technologies have potential as tools for monitoring and mapping crop water status, improving water use efficiency and precisely managing irrigation. As thermal sensors and imagers became more affordable, various platforms were examined to allow for canopy- and field-scale acquisitions of canopy temperature and to extract maps of water status variability. Various canopy temperature statistics and crop water stress index (CWSI) were used to estimate water status... O. Rosenberg, V. Alchanatis, Y. Saranga, A. Bosak, Y. Cohen |
5. Extension Program Prioritization Guides Web-mapping Application Delivery to RanchersCooperative Extension has a long history of helping agricultural producers address their current needs and emerging public issues; often through training in the use of technologies that are not yet widely adopted. The quality of geospatial data and tools to visualize and analyze that data continues to improve. However, barriers exist to rancher adoption of geospatial decision support tools. These barriers can include costs, ease of use, and privacy concerns. The sustainability of beef cattle... W. Boyer |
6. Drone Use Extension and Demonstrations Support Management of Riparian Areas, Grazing Land, and Water QualityAgricultural and natural resource managers have explored a variety of ways in which drones might be used to aid in decision-making. One of the most useful ways may be the production of orthorectified aerial photography which can have very high spatial and temporal resolution. Such photography offers new opportunities for visualizing and measuring features on the landscape. Not just measuring the two-dimensional characteristics of landscape features, but also measuring three-dimensional characteristics.... W. Boyer |
