2. Development of a Small Tracking Device for Cattle Using IoT TechnologyThe US is the largest producer of beef in the world. Last year alone, it produces nearly 19% of the world’s beef. This translate to about almost $90 billion in economic impact in the country. Aside from being a producer, the US also consumed more than 26 billion pounds of beef which have a retail value of the entire beef industry to more than $74B. For this level of production and consumption, each rancher in the US must produce a herd size of at least 100 or more to sustain the current... J.M. Maja, A.K. Blocker, E.G. Stuckey, S.G. Sell, G.

3. Are Pulses Really More Variable Than Cereals? a Country-wide Analysis of Within-field VariabilityIn Australia, pulses are underutilised by growers relative to cereal crops. There is significant global interest in growing pulses to provide more plant protein, and they also provide a string of agronomic and environmental benefits, such as their ability to fix nitrogen, and provide a pest and disease break for cereal crops. Many studies attribute this underutilisation to pulses exhibiting greater within-field yield variability than cereals. However, this has never been comprehensively examined... P. Filippi, T.

4. The Evaluation of Spatial Response to Potassium in SoybeansIn agriculture, the nutrients that are in the largest demand are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), as product demand increases so does demand for fertilizers. In the case of potassium, most soils can provide potassium in amounts that exceed crop demand; however the potassium within the soil is not always readily available to the crop, this leads to producers apply potassium to their crops even though soil tests suggests otherwise. One such crop where potassium is in demand... S. Akin, B. Arnall |
5. RMAPs: an Integrated Tool to Delimitate Homogeneous Management ZonesManagement zones are one of the most studied methods in precision agriculture to optimize crop yield from the soil, plant, management, and climate input parameters. We present Rmaps, an R package that integrates soil and crop yield spatial variability using geostatistical methods and one-hidden-layer perceptron (OHLP) to identify how input parameters influence crop yield and delimitate homogenous zones. From georeferenced data of soil, plant, management, climate, and crop yield parameters, Rmaps... E. Erazo, C. Mosquera, O. Ochoa |
6. Influence of Potassium Variability on Soybean YieldDue to its role as a plant essential nutrient, Potassium (K) serves as a fundamental component for plant growth. Soybeans are heavily reliant upon this nutrient for root growth and the production of pods, so much so that after nitrogen, potassium is the second most in-demand nutrient. Much of the overall soybean crop grown in Oklahoma is not managed with the fertility of K directly in mind. However, as the potential and expectation for greater yield increases, so does interest from producers... J. Derrick, S. Akin, R. Sharry, B. Arnall |
