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 ...
Machine Vision Methods for Evaluating Plant Stand Count and Weed Classification Using Open-Source Platforms
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Evaluating plant stand count or classifying weeds by manual scouting is time-consuming, laborious, and subject to human errors. Proximal remote sensed imagery used in conjunction with machine vision algorithms can be used ...
Process Benefits of Using Biomass Pellets in a Biorefinery
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Pelleted biomass can help simplify biomass supply systems and reduce downstream processing costs that are vital for the development of commercial biorefineries. This study is based on comparison of process benefits and ...
Use of Digital Imagery to Evaluate the Relationship Between NDVI and Crop Production Field Data at Stutsman County, North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Remote sensing techniques using near infrared band and experimental field data has been already applied on experimental field conditions. However, actual field conditions can be different than experimental plots. This study ...
