Use of geographic information systems and remote sensing as automated tool for variable rate irrigation prescriptions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Economic as well as water shortage pressure on agricultural use of water has placed added emphasis on efficient irrigation management. Center pivot technology has made great...
Quantifying the effect of environments on crop emergence, development and yield using sensing and deep learning techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The world population is estimated to increase by 2 billion in the next 30 years, and global crop production needs to double by 2050 to meet the projected demands from rising population, diet shifts, and increasing biofuels ...
Improvement of co-digesting swine manure and waste kitchen oil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
with M2, introduction of more than 1.2 g-VSWKO L-1 d-1 did not increase biogas yield per VS-fed compared to M2O1, and might cause system imbalance. It took up to 84 days to observe system failure. Biogas potential (BP) study showed significantly higher...
Climate and land use effects on hydrologic processes and water allocation in a primarily rain-fed, agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] There is a need to raise our understanding of the impact of climate variability and change on hydrologic processes at the watershed scale. This is ...
Nanocellulose extraction and surface modification toward active packaging applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have attracted growing interest as a renewable nanomaterial. The main objective of this study was to explore the extraction of CNCs from switchgrass and surface modification of CNCs into ...
Detecting estrus in sows using a robotic imaging system and neural networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The global demand for pork products is expected to grow further with the growth of the population. Traditional swine farming presents disadvantages such as low breeding efficiency and high labor cost. Estrus detection is ...
