1. Optical Based Sugarcane Yield MonitorsSeveral different optical sensors were investigated to detect sugarcane yield on a billet type sugarcane harvester. These sensors included an over-head optical sensor and a below-the-conveyor sensor. Both sensors indicated mass flow rate from a volume measurement of the cane on the conveyor slats. Both systems gave good results with linear line calibration equations and adjusted R-square values from 0.96 to 0.97. Weight wagon weights in the 0.6 to 1.6 metric ton range were estimated to 7.5% on... R. Price, R.M. Johnson, R.P. Viator |
2. A Comparison Of Conventional And Sensor-based Lime Requirement MapsSuccessful variable-rate applications of agricultural inputs, such as lime, rely on quality of input data. Systematic soil sampling is... A.K. Jonjak, V.I. Adamchuk, C.S. Wortmann, C.A. Shapiro, R.B. Fergugson |
3. Spatial Variability of Sugarcane Yields in Relation to Soil Salinity in LouisianaHigh soil salinity levels have been documented to negatively impact sugarcane yields. Tests were conducted in commercial sugarcane fields in South Louisiana in 2009-2010 to determine if elevated soil salinity levels... R.P. Viator, R.M. Johnson |
