2. Developing An Active Crop Sensor-based In-season Nitrogen Management Strategy For Rice In Northeast ChinaCrop sensor-based in-season N management strategies have been successfully developed and evaluated for winter wheat around the world, but little has been reported for rice. The objective of this study was to develop an active crop sensor-based in-season N management strategy for upland rice in Northeast... Y. Yao, Y. Miao, S. Huang, M.L. Gnyp, R. Jiang, X. Chen, G.

3. GNSS Tracking Of Livestock: Towards Variable Fertilizer Strategies For The Grazing IndustryThis study reveals the potential for GPS tracking in the grazing industry. By monitoring the locations and movement of livestock, times of peak grazing activity can be identified and these can in turn produce maps of preferred grazing areas, and by examining residency times provide an indication of spatial variability in grazing pressure. A comparison of grazing preference can be made to similarly inferred camping areas to understand the potential redistribution of nutrients within a paddock.... M.G. Trotter, D.W. Lamb, G.N.

4. Matching Nitrogen To Plant Available Water For Malting Barley On Highly Constrained Vertosol SoilCrop yield monitoring, high resolution aerial imagery and electromagnetic induction (EMI) soil sensing are three widely used techniques in precision agriculture (PA). Yield maps provide an indication of the crop’s response to a particular management regime in light of spatially-variable constraints. Aerial imagery provides timely and accurate information about photosynthetically-active biomass during crop growth and EMI indicates spatial variability in soil texture, salinity and/or... B.

5. Non-destructive Plant Phenotyping Using a Mobile Hyperspectral System to Assist Breeding Research: First ResultsHybrid plants feature a stronger vigor, an increased yield and a better environmental adaptability than their parents, also known as heterosis effect. Heterosis of winter oilseed rape is not yet fully understood and conclusions on hybrid performance can only be drawn from laborious test crossings. Large scale field phenotyping may alleviate this process in plant breeding. The aim of this study was to test a low-cost mobile ground-based hyperspectral system for breeding research to easily... H.

6. First Experiences with the European Remote Sensing Satellites Sentinel-1A/ -2A for Agricultural ResearchThe Copernicus program headed by the European Commission (EC) in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) will launch up to twelve satellites, the so called “Sentinels” for earth and environmental observations until 2020. Within this satellite fleet, the Sentinel-1 (microwave) and Sentinal-2 (optical) satellites deliver valuable information on agricultural crops. Due to their high temporal (5 to 6 days repeating time) and spatial (10 to 20 m) resolutions a continuous monitoring... H. Lilienthal, H. Gerighausen, E. Schnug |
7. The Animal Welfare of Dairy Cows Housed in Free-Stall Barn According to the Welfare Quality® Protocol: Good Feeding and Good Housing PrinciplesThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the animal welfare of dairy cows according to good feeding and good housing principles of the Welfare Quality® protocol. The protocol was applied to animals kept confined in a free-stall barn during their lactation. The farm was located in São João Batista do Glória, Minas Gerais state - Brazil. One hundred and one animals were evaluated (47 primiparous and 54 multiparous). The welfare measures were collected mostly through... G.M. Dallago, M. Guimarães, R. Godinho, R. Carvalho, A. Lobo Júnior |
8. The Correlation Between Criteria from Welfare Quality® Protocol Applied to Dairy Cows Housed in Free-Stall BarnThe objective of this study was to evaluate correlations between animal welfare criteria from the Welfare Quality® protocol applied to dairy cows. The protocol was applied on 47 primiparous and 54 multiparous dairy cows housed in a free-stall barn located in São João Batista do Glória, Minas Gerais - Brazil. Twelve welfare criteria were obtained from mostly animal-based welfare measures as proposed by the protocol. Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were calculated between... G.M. Dallago, M. Guimarães, R. Godinho, R. Carvalho, A. Lobo Júnior |
9. Agricultural Remote Sensing Information for Farmers in GermanyThe European Copernicus program delivers optical and radar satellite imagery at a high temporal frequency and at a ground resolution of 10m worldwide with an open data policy. Since July 2017 the satellite constellation of the Sentinel-1 and -2 satellites is fully operational, allowing e.g. coverage of Germany every 1-2 days by radar and every 2-3 days with optical sensors. This huge data source contains a variety of valuable input information for farmers to monitor the in-field variability and... H. Lilienthal, H. Gerighausen, E. Schnug |
10. Evaluation of Fall and Spring Nitrogen Rates Effect on Cereal Rye Forage Crude Protein and Tillering Using NDVI and Canopeo to Make Infield Nitrogen Rate DecisionsFall applied nitrogen has been used to increase plant tiller and protein in wheat but less research has been done of its effects on cereal rye forage and how NDVI and Canopeo readings can be used to make nitrogen application management decisions. This study took place at the Ohio State University North Central Agricultural Research Station in Fremont, Ohio. The experiment is a randomized complete block split-plot design with four nitrogen rates in the fall (0, 30, 60, and 90 lbs/ac) and in the... K. Stahl, J.M. Hartschuh, A. Gahler |
