1. Physiological Repsonses Of Corn To Variable Seeding Rates In Landscape-Scale Strip TrialsMany producers now have the capability to vary seeding rates on-the-go. Methods are needed to develop variable rate seeding approaches in corn but require an understanding of the physiological response of corn to soil-landscape and weather conditions. Interplant competition fundamentally differs at varied seeding rate and may affect corn leaf area, transpiration, plant morphology, and assimilate partitioning. Optimizing these physiological effects with optimal seeding rates in a site-specific... D.B. Myers, N.R. Kitchen, K.A. Sudduth, B.J. Leonard |
2. Rationale for and Benefits of a Community for On-Farm Data SharingMost data sets for evaluating crop production practices have too few locations and years to create reliable probabilities from predictive analytical analyses for the success of the practices. Yield monitors on combines have the potential to enable networks of farmers in collaboration with scientists and farm advisors to collect sufficient data for calculation of more reliable guidelines for crop production showing the probabilities that new or existing practices will improve the efficiency of...

3. Exploring Wireless Sensor Network Technology in Sustainable Okra Garden: A Comparative Analysis of Okra Grown in Different Fertilizer TreatmentsThe goal of this project was to explore commercial agricultural and irrigation sensor kits and to discern if the commercial wireless sensor network (WSN) is a viable tool for providing accurate real-time farm data at the nexus of food energy and water. The smart garden consists of two different varieties of Abelmoschus esculentus (okra) planted in raised beds, each grown under two different fertilizer treatments. Soil watermark sensors were programed to evaluate soil moisture and dictate irrigation... L. Burton, K. Jayachandran, S. Bhansali, Y. Mekonnen, A. Sarwat |
4. Unlocking Canopy Dynamics: Uav-lidar-based Biomass Estimation in Ocimum BasilicumUAV-LiDAR offers a high-throughput route to phenotyping and biomass estimation in basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). Over three crops seasons (2021–2023), we evaluated three commercial varieties across 96 plots under different irrigation regimes and sowing densities. Multi-temporal LiDAR acquisitions quantified canopy height, LAI and volume and were validated against ground truth. Canopy volume strongly predicted fresh biomass (R² = 0.93; mean error < 8%). Across years, fresh biomass... P. Toscano |
