Using UAS Images to Remotely Estimate Soil Moisture Content in the Red River Valley
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Accurate measurements of soil moisture in a timely manner are necessary in making critical management decisions, but it is often very difficult to obtain. Even though soil moisture can be measured on the ground using various ...
Effect of Water Table Level on Soybean Water Use, Growth and Yield Parameters
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Responses of soybean (Glycine max) water uptake and crop growth to four constant water table depths (30, 50, 70, and 90 cm) were studied under a controlled environment using lysimeters. Additionally, control lysimeters ...
Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) Identification Using Hyperspectral Imaging Technology
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Palmer amaranth is a troublesome weed in modern day agriculture. Timely identification, along with adoption of site-specific weed management practices, will enable farmers to reduce Palmer amaranth control costs and improve ...
Application of Nanoparticles in Livestock Manure for Understanding Hydrogen Sulfide and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Mechanism
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The agricultural sector is one of the sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission, especially methane (CH4), and contributing approximately 250 million metric ton carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent emission per year. Almost ...
A Field Study on LiDAR Sensor for Unmanned Ground Vehicle Navigation Application in Precision Agriculture
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
LiDAR sensor’s mapping and detection abilities make these sensors an important tool for research on navigation and object detection for robots and vehicles. This study used a ground robot and LiDAR sensor to collect ...
Using UAS Imagery and Computer Vision to Support Site-Specific Weed Control in Corn
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Currently, a blanket application of herbicides across the field without considering the spatial distribution of weeds is the most used method to control weeds in corn. Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) can provide high spatial ...
Anaerobic Co-digestion of Dairy Manure with Canola Meal
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
There has been an increase of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs)
generating large amounts of manure. When this manure is not handled properly, it
generates greenhouse gases (GHGs), odors and water pollution. ...
Design and Development of an Automatic Steering System for Agricultural Towed Implements
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
While an auto steered tractor can improve the overall accuracy and efficiency of an operation, for operations that involve towing an implement, a significant portion of the efficiency reduction comes from uncontrolled ...
Methods for Ethanol Production from the Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Fermentation of Sugar Beet Pulp
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Sugar beet pulp (SBP), the residue remaining after sucrose extraction, is
currently sold as an animal feed. Humans cannot digest the cellulose in the pulp
unlike ruminant animals. The pulp is primarily comprised of ...
Rapid Evaluation of Canola Lines for Cold Soak Filterability in Biodiesel
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Worldwide concerns about fossil fuel depletion and energy security have recently
triggered a research interest in biodiesel, which is renewable, biodegradable, and has
several other advantages as an alternative to petro ...
