1. Economic Potential Of Monitoring Protein Content At Harvest And Blending Wheat GrainPrecision agriculture has been primarily focused on the management of inputs but recently developed technologies that monitor grain quality at harvest create the opportunity to manage outputs spatially. Provided specific product qualities achieve higher prices, monitoring, separation and blending may be economically justified. This paper analyzes the potential economic effects of blending different grain qualities at the farm level. We estimated sub-field spec... A. Meyer-aurich, M. Gandorfer, A. Weersink, P. Wagner |

3. Proper Implementation Of Precision Agricultural Technologies For Conducting On-farm ResearchPrecision agricultural technologies provide farmers, practitioners and researchers the ability to conduct on-farm or field-scale research to refine farm management, improve long term crop production decisions, and implement site-specific management strategies. However, the limitations of these technologies must be understood to draw accurate and meaningful conclusions from such investigations. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to outline the limitations of seve... J.P. Fulton, M.J. Darr, R.K. Taylor, T.P. Mcdonald |
4. Optimizing N, P, K, And S Application Across Landscapes In The Northern Great Plains Using The Plant Root Simulator (PRS™ ) Technology.Early papers on precision farming focused on variable rate fertilization and variable spraying technology (Roberts, 1996). The adoption of this 1st round of precision farming was acknowledged to be a “dead horse” (Mangold, 2000). These authors put forward the notion that farmers needed better tools to decide if the intensive management of fertilizer would result in a significant reduction in input costs, or a significant increase in crop yie...

5. Delineating Dynamic Variable Rate Irrigation Management ZonesAgriculture irrigation strategies have traditionally been made without accounting for the natural small-scale variability in the field, leading to uniform applications that often over-irrigate parts of the field that do not need as much water. The future success of irrigated agriculture depends on advancements in the capability to account for and leverage the natural variability in croplands for optimum irrigation management both in space and time. Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) management of... R. Unruh, W.A. Yilma, D. Mandal, R. Joshi, R. Khosla |
6. Spatio-temporal Analysis of Soil Moisture and Turfgrass Health to Investigate the Temporal Stability of Variable Rate Irrigation ZonesThe western USA has been experiencing severe drought conditions for at least the last 20 years. The population in many areas of the west, like Utah, has also increased greatly in this time putting greater strain on the limited freshwater supply. While agriculture is generally the sector consuming the largest proportion of freshwater, conversion of agricultural land to urban areas with lawns, parks and playing fields may result in some reduction of water use, but the EPA have estimated that as...

7. Assessing Precision Water Management in Cotton Using Unmanned Aerial Systems and Satellite Remote SensingThe goal of this study was to improve agricultural sustainability and water use efficiency by allocating the right amount of water at the right place and time within the field. The objectives were to assess the effect of variable rate irrigation (VRI) on cotton growth and yield and evaluate the application of satellites and Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in capturing the spatial and temporal patterns of cotton growth response to irrigation. Irrigation treatments with six replications of three ... O. Adedeji, W. Guo, H. Alwaseela, B. Ghimire, E. Wieber, R. Karn |
8. Apparent Soil Electrical Conductivity As an Indicator of Failed Subsurface DrainsIt is estimated that 2,000 ha of cropland are taken out of production daily worldwide due to salinization and sodification. Salinity is estimated to result in economic losses of $27.3 billion U.S. dollars annually. Our project aimed to develop techniques for quantifying the severity of soil-water salinity and impacts on crop production in the Lower Arkansas River Valley (LARV) in Colorado. The Fairmont Drainage District (FDD) study site in the LARV is a furrow-irrigated, tile-drained area of ... A. Andales, A.J. Brown |
9. Evaluation of Peanut Response to Soil Water Levels Using the Crop Water Stress Index Generated from Infrared Thermal Sensors and ImageryIn precision agriculture, precise monitoring of crop water stress is crucial for optimizing water use, increasing crop yield, and promoting environmental sustainability. Achieving high water use efficiency in peanut production is key to producing high-quality crop. This study investigates the efficiency of infrared thermal sensors and thermal imagery from satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for determining peanut crop water stress index (CWSI). Furthermore, this research explores t... B. Parbi, B.V. Ortiz, E. Abban-baidoo , A. Sanz-saez, J.S. Velasco |
10. Comparison of NDVI Values at Different Phenological Stages of Winter Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)The main objective of this study is to monitor, detect and quantify the presence of live green vegetation with the MicaSense RedEdge-MX Dual Camera System (MS) mounted on a DJI Matrice 210 V2 and GreenSeeker HCS 250 (GS) in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Surveys were conducted in the North-Western part of Hungary, in Mosonmagyaróvár on six different dates. A small-scale field trial in winter wheat was constructed as a ... S. Zsebő, G. Kukorelli, V.

11. The Relationship Between Vegetation Indices Derived from UAV Imagery and Maturity Class in Potato Breeding TrialsIn potato breeding, maturity class (MC) is a crucial selection criterion because this is a critical aspect of commercial potato production. Currently, the classification of potato genotypes into MCs is done visually, which is time- and labor-consuming. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with sensors can acquire images with high spatial and temporal resolution. The objectives of this study were to 1) establish the relationship between vegetation indices (VIs) derived from UAV imagery at ... S.M. Samborski, U. Torres, R. Leszczyńska, A. Bech, M.

12. Spectral Response of Six Treatments of Soil Fertilization in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Var. Diacol Capiro with UASIn Colombia, potato cultivation occupies the third place among the transient crops in the country, covering approximately 160,000 hectares. It holds the first place in terms of production value, reaching US $500 million, and ranks as the second crop with the highest demand for fertilizers, constituting 20% of production costs. The departments of Cundinamarca, Boyacá, Nariño, and Antioquia are the primary potato producers, accounting for 87.8% of the total production. Traditional... S.A. Rubaino sosa, O.Y.

13. Vegetation Coverage Specific Flower Density Estimation in Blackberry Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Remote SensingThe effective management of agricultural systems relies on the utilization of accurate data collection techniques to analyze essential crop attributes to enhance productivity and ensure profits. Data collection procedures for specialty horticultural crops are mostly subjective, time consuming and may not be accurate for management decisions in both phenotypic studies and crop production. Reliable and repeatable standard methods are therefore needed to capture and calculate attributes of horti... A. Tagoe, C. Koparan, A. Poncet, D.M. Johnson, M. Worthington, D. Wang |
