Evaluating UAV-Based Remote Sensing for Hay Yield Estimation [PDF]
Sensors(1) Background: Yield-monitoring systems are widely used in grain crops but are less advanced for hay and forage. Current commercial systems are generally limited to weighing individual bales, limiting the spatial resolution of maps of hay yield.

Effects of Biochar Addition and Nitrogen Application Rate on Soil Properties and Agronomic Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Artificial Grasslands [PDF]
PlantsIn modern livestock production, a reliable supply of high-quality forage is essential for sustaining animal productivity and product quality. Although nitrogen (N) fertilization can promote forage growth, excessive N inputs often result in low agronomic ...

Yield evaluation of varieties from the world collection of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.)
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2002 In field trials in 1998-2000, ten varieties of the world collection of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) were evaluated for herbage and hay yields. In all the years of testing yields from three cuttings and total annual production were evaluated. In

Comparative analysis of alfalfa cultivation with and without herbicide use to gain insights into the potential for sustainable system development [PDF]
Acta Agriculturae SerbicaA major problem when establishing alfalfa crops can be the presence of weeds. In intensive systems, weeds are controlled with herbicides, which inevitably contaminate water, soil, air, and food.
