Sweet Corn Production with Different Mulches, Varieties, and Planting Dates in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Sweetcorn is a high value crop that can grow almost anywhere given the right temperature conditions. In North Dakota those conditions are not always met. Using mulch increases the soil temperature. Early planting will have ...
Agricultural Field Applications of Digital Image Processing Using an Open Source ImageJ Platform
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Digital image processing is one of the potential technologies used in precision agriculture to gather information, such as seed emergence, plant health, and phenology from the digital images. Despite its potential, the ...
Identification of Weed Species and Glyphosate-Resistant Weeds Using High Resolution UAS Images
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Adoption of a Site-Specific Weed Management System (SSWMS) can contribute to sustainable agriculture. Weed mapping is a crucial step in SSWMS, leads to saving herbicides and protecting environment by preventing repeated ...
Infield Biomass Bales Aggregation Logistics and Equipment Track Impacted Area Evaluation
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Efficient bale stack location, infield bale logistics, and equipment track impacted area were conducted in three different studies using simulation in R. Even though the geometric median produced the best logistics, among ...
Remediation of Feedlot Nutrients Runoff by Hydroponic Treatment and Electrolysis Process
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Intensive livestock farming in feedlot producing large amounts of manure and wastewater. Hydroponic and electrolysis treatments were studied for the remediation of nutrients from feedlot runoff. Water hyacinth, water ...
Evaluation of Storage Techniques to Preserve Fermentable Sugars from Sugar Beets for Ethanol Production
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
New sugar beet varieties may qualify as an advanced biofuel feedstock in the U.S., but new alternatives to conventional pile storage are necessary to preserve fermentable sugars and allow yearlong beet ethanol production. ...
Reference Evapotranspiration and Actual Evapotranspiration Measurements in Southeastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Subsurface drainage (SSD) has been used to remove excess water from fields in the United States upper Midwest for more than a century, but only since the last decade in the Red River Basin of the North in North Dakota (ND). ...
Application of SWAT for Impact Analysis of Subsurface Drainage on Streamflows in a Snow Dominated Watershed
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The wet weather pattern since the early 1990's has created two problems for the people living in the Red River Valley (RRV): (1) wet field conditions for farmers and (2) more frequent major spring floods in the Red River ...
Using Prescription Maps for In Field Evaluation of Parameters Affecting Spraying Accuracy of a Self-Propelled Sprayer
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Advanced sprayer control systems aim to improve accuracy and reduce waste in spray application. The objective of this study was to determine an optimum prescription map cell size/resolution that is compatible with current ...
Non-Destructive Analysis of Single Plant Canola (Brassica Napus) Seed Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used for quantitative analysis of oilseeds in a non-destructive manner. Canola (Brassica napus) is a popular oilseed crop that is used for food and biofuel markets. Due to limited ...
