1. Active Sensor Orientation Over Corn Rows and Effect on Assessment of BiomassOur long-tern mresearch goal is to develop practical N application systems that use on-the-go remote sensing as a nleans to assess crop N status and only apply N where needed at times when the crop can most efficiently utilize N. Our preliminaty testing of two active sensor systems has shoxl-11 considerable promise for rapid and accurate assessment of canopy N status and crop biomass. In this work, the effect of sensor positioning and orientation over the canopy and their effects on assessment of... |
2. In Season RecommendationsWe are testing a prototype high-clearance tractor configured with active crop canopy sensors, drop nozzles with electronic valves, and a variable rate controller as means to deliver in-season variable rates of liquid N fertilizer based on crop needs as an alterative to preplant uniform applications of N. The active sensor we're evaluating is the model ACS-210 Crop Circle made by Holland Scientific. It generates it's own source of modulated light in the amber and near infrared (NIR) bands and then... |
