1. A Crop And Soil Strategy For Sensor-based Variable-rate Nitrogen ManagementCrop-based active canopy sensors and soil-based management zones (MZ) are currently being studied as tools to direct in-season variable-rate N application. Some have suggested the integration of these tools as a more robust decision tool for guiding spatially variable N rates. The objectives of this study were to identify (1) soil variables useful for MZ delineation and (2) determine if MZ could be useful in identifying field areas wi... D.F. Roberts, J.F. Shanahan, R.B.

2. Analysis Of Water Use Efficiency Using On-the-go Soil Sensing And A Wireless NetworkAn efficient irrigation system should meet the demands of the growing crops. While limited water supply may result in yield reduction, excess irrigation is a waste of resources. To investigate water use efficiency, on-the-go sensing technology was used to reveal soil spatial variability relevant to water holding capacity (in this example, field elevation and apparent electrical conductivity). These high-density data layers were used to identify strategic sites where monitoring water availabil... L. Pan, V.I. Adamchuk, D.L. Martin, M.A. Schroeder, R.B. Fergugson |
3. Early Identification Of Leaf Rust On Wheat Leaves With Robust Fitting Of Hyperspectral SignaturesEarly recognition of pathogen infection is of great relevance in precision plant protection. Disease detection before the occurrence of visual symptoms is of particular interest. By use of a laserfluoroscope, UV-light induced fluorescence data were collected from healthy and with leaf rust infected wheat leaves of the susceptible cv. Ritmo 2-4 days after inoculation under controlled conditions. In order to evaluate disease impact on spectral characteristics 215 wavelengths in the range of 370... C. R, T. Rumpf, K. B, M.
