1.Topdress N needs to take place before V12
2. Split N better under high rainfall & sandy soils
3. Identified sites where preplant N was better
1. Inconclusive data on the ability of the Sensors to detect differences in hybrids
Fred Below
1. Problems associated with yield maps
2. Range of Yield Levels (Yield Map) were 120 to 190 (1.58X)
3. Differences in Corn Hybrid NUE and Response to applied N?
4. Consistent boost in grain protein from increasing N applied
5. Number of kernels highly correlated with N applied (kernel #
established between v8 and v12)
6. Challenge: Sink-driven yield response to applied N
Robert Mullen
1. RI-Harvest can be predicted with RI-NDVI
2. Red NDVI capable of detecting N rate differences at v4 and v6
3. Need for better RI-NDVI vs. RI-Harvest relationship in corn
John Lamb
1. Improved N Management in sugar beets has large economic impact
2. Excess N application in soybean-corn-beet rotation
3. Early growth in beets important, thus the need for high N at planting
4. Application of sensors for disease recognition
5. Sugar beet top N credit (late fall NO3-N test not successful)
Nicolas Tremblay
1. Integrating soil productivity potential
2. DUALEX Sensor
3. Decreased N at planting combined with the use of N Rich Strips
4. Appropriate Rate for N Rich Strips?
Newell Kitchen
1. Convenience of Precision Ag Practices (adoption)
2. Knowing what the yield is, is not helpful for predicting N rate
(Resolution?)
3. Need for by-plant resolution?
4. Need for more complicated N Rich Strip
Ken Sudduth
1. Sensor evaluation
2. Development of liquid based, high clearance equipment
Dennis Francis
1. Problems associated with different sensors
2. Problems in recognizing differences in the field and selecting the
right N rate
3. NIR differences within rows more pronounced
4. Reported on variability within sensors
5. Seed placement (leaf orientation) may be required for precision
planting
6. Planting depth influences stalk diameter
7. Leaf orientation (Wilhelm) influence on yield
8. Re-evaluation of vegetation indices
John Shanahan
1. Importance of In-Season N Approach
2. Application Window: v8 - vt
3. Variable N Response Across the Landscape
Dan Walters
1. Model for Predicting Corn Grain Yield
Fernando Solari
1. Differences in time of day for active sensors
2. Off the row ---- NDVI underestimated, more important at early stages of
growth
3. Leaf wetness, was not an issue
Paul Hodgen
1. Need for N Management Zones
2. Sensor angle: Nadir better than at 45 degrees

1. Good Correlation of RNDVI and N applied
Tom Clarke
1. GreenSeeker vs. Exotech
2. Found good separation of N rates using active sensors
Ivan Ortiz-Monasterio
1. Foliar UAN in Durum & Breadwheat resulted in 85+% of maximum yield
