1. Cotton Precision Farming Adoption In The Southern United States: Findings From A 2009 SurveyThe objectives of this study were 1) to determine the status of precision farming technology adoption by cotton producers in 12 states and 2) to evaluate changes in cotton precision farming technology adoption between 2000 and 2008. A mail survey of cotton producers located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia was conducted in February and March of 2009 to establish the use of precision farming technologies...

2. Development of a Granular Herbicide Spot Applicator for Management of Hair Fescue (Festuca Filiformis) in Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium Angustifolium)Hair fescue has quickly become the pest of greatest concern for the wild blueberry industry. This is largely due to its ability to outcompete wild blueberry for critical resources including water, nutrients and most importantly space. In Nova Scotia, between 2001 and 2019, hair fescue had increased in field frequency from 7% to 68% and in field uniformity from 1.4% to 25%. This rapidly spreading and economically destructive weed is likewise a significant challenge to manage, with only a single... C. Maceachern, T. Esau, Q. Zaman |
3. Long-range Bluetooth Smart Stakes and High-gain Receivers for High-density Sensing in Precision AgricultureTo achieve the goals of precision agriculture, accurate spatial-temporal soil information is needed, especially because soil properties can change within and between growing seasons. While remote sensing can provide high coverage, some soil properties must be measured in situ. Current existing industry solutions are too expensive per unit to deploy in sufficiently high density for dynamic management zones, creating a need for low-cost sensor networks.... S. Craven, C.
