Series: Burleigh Dodds Science: Instant Insights

This collection features four peer-reviewed reviews on proximal sensors in agriculture.

The first chapter addresses the use of proximal sensors to evaluate crop health and performance throughout the growing season. The chapter reviews the evolution of crop sensors, as well as the issues and limitations facing further development, including the need to develop sensors equipped with the ability to detect stresses other than nitrogen.

The second chapter reviews recent advances in using proximal sensors to detect crop health status in horticultural crops. The chapter considers the application of sensors to detect micro-environmental parameters linked to pathogen lifecycles which can then be utilised to predict disease risk.

The third chapter reviews advances in using proximal spectroscopic sensors to assess soil health. It assesses principles and technologies, key properties measured, advantages and disadvantages together with applications in improving soil management.

The final chapter discusses advances in the use of proximal sensor fusion and multi-sensor platforms for improved crop management. The chapter considers the combination of remote sensing from satellites and weather station data as the basis for crop growth models and explores the benefits of utilising a selection of tools to investigate yield prediction.

BS Forestry (75), MS Soil Fertility (76) University of Illinois Worked nearly 20 years as agronomist and manager of a chain of independent retail fertilizer and ag-protection facilities in Illinois. Went back to University of Illinois and complete PhD in soil chemistry in 1993. Joined North Dakota State University as Extension Soil Specialist in 1994. Research includes soil sampling for site-specific nutrient management, including nitrogen; use of active-optical sensors and acoustic height sensors for in-season nitrogen management. Conducted field research that has resulted in an overhaul of all fertilizer recommendations in North Dakota.
