Evaluation of convective heat and mass transfer in Open Sun and Green House Drying
In this paper, a study on open sun and green house drying has been performed to evaluate the convective heat and mass transfer coefficients as a function of climatic parameters. The hourly data for the rate of moisture removal, crop temperature, relative humidity inside greenhouse and outside greenhouse and ambient air temperature for complete drying have been recorded. The experiments were done ...

Ag in Motion 2020: Virtual Content
Field days and trade shows looked a little different than usual in 2020. In July, Kendall Gee of Crop Intelligence, and Curtis Russell with Taurus Ag Marketing https://www.taurus.ag/team/ met in a canola field southeast of Regina to discuss how soil moisture data can help inform farm decision making throughout the growing season. The video includes a walk-through of live data from Crop ...

Probes reveal soil moisture’s many secrets
Soil moisture probes have been around for a long time, but they remain one of those mysterious agricultural instruments that only a small handful of people attempt to understand or use. “Part of the problem is people don’t trust the information,” says Ryan Hutchison of South Country Equipment in Saskatchewan. He was at Crop Connect 2019 in Winnipeg to give a presentation ...

Soil moisture data and Water Driven Yield Potential support confident decision making
I was introduced to Crop Intelligence and soil moisture probes in the spring of 2018 by Ryan Hutchison. That fall, I joined South Country Equipment as a Crop Intelligence Agronomist and put two stations on my family farm in SE Saskatchewan for the 2019 season. This was De Roo Family Farms first year using Crop Intelligence, but I knew we could trust the data to push our yields higher. Weather is ...

Top Dressing Fertilizer in Western Canada
Western Canada has a short growing season which makes another pass for top dressing fertilizer sometimes difficult to achieve. Many crops have the fertilizer applied during the seeding season with Liquid Distribution Systems, (like these kits we make here). Often this will meet the crops fertilizer requirements for the whole season. Making one pass makes sense in a season that brings the right ...

How weather stations can help make more informed crop management decisions
Up your defenses against unpredictable Mother Nature with an on-farm weather station’s accurate weather monitoring, forecasting and historical data There’s a long-enduring sentiment in Canadian agriculture that when farmers gather, they’re usually talking about the weather. There’s a good reason for this. After all, there are many things you can control on the farm from ...

From (cyber)space to ground: new technologies for smart farming
Increased water demand and climate change impacts have recently enhanced the need to improve water resources management, even in those areas which traditionally have an abundant supply of water, such as the Po Valley in northern Italy. The highest consumption of water is devoted to irrigation for agricultural production, and so it is in this area that efforts have to be focused to study ...

Subsurface drip and overhead irrigation: a comparison of plant boll distribution in upland cotton
Although subsurface drip (SSD) is used as a water-efficient alternative to overhead irrigation in many crops, the effects of SSD on the distribution of bolls on cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L.) have not been thoroughly examined. The purpose of this study was to add to the current knowledge about the effects of SSD on cotton yield dynamics. Cultivar DP 488 BG/RR was grown in three studies ...

Why Vertical Crop Monitoring is Essential to Regenerative Agriculture
A farmer’s day may be different every day during the growing season but the one constant is that each day is dedicated to doing what needs to be done for a healthy crop. Today’s growers also know that they are the custodians of the soil they farm. Our planet’s population depends on their willingness and ability to reverse the damage that some traditional farming practices have ...

Efficient Vineyard Irrigation Series #3: How to dynamically optimise irrigation scheduling
As climate change increases the cost and scarcity of water, as well as consumer concerns over environmental impact, efficient irrigation is fast becoming a key component of successful vineyard management. The need for efficiency is also growing with the increased frequency of extreme weather events (e.g. extreme heat, fluctuating rainfall, bushfires and droughts), which effect vine growth and ...
