About this Dataset

The Bronson Files, Dataset 5, Field 105, 2014

Dr. Kevin Bronson provides a second year of nitrogen and water management in wheat agricultural research dataset for compute. Ten irrigation treatments from a linear sprinkler were combined with nitrogen treatments. This dataset includes notation of field events and operations, an intermediate analysis mega-table of correlated and calculated parameters, including laboratory analysis results generated during the experimentation, plus high resolution plot level intermediate data tables of SAS process output, as well as the complete raw data sensor records and logger outputs.

This proximal terrestrial high-throughput plant phenotyping data examples our early tri-metric field method, where a geo-referenced 5Hz crop canopy height, temperature and spectral signature are recorded coincident to indicate a plant health status. In this development period, our Proximal Sensing Cart Mark1 (PSCM1) platform suspends a single cluster of sensors on a dual sliding vertical placement armature.

See included README file for operational details and further description of the measured data signals.

Summary: Active optical proximal wheat canopy sensing spatial data and including additional related metrics such as thermal are presented. Agronomic nitrogen and irrigation management related field operations are listed. Unique research experimentation intermediate analysis table is made available, along with raw data. The raw data recordings, and annotated table outputs with calculated VIs are made available. Plot polygon coordinate designations allow a re-intersection spatial analysis. Data was collected in the 2014 season at Maricopa Agricultural Center, Arizona, USA. High throughput proximal plant phenotyping via electronic sampling and data processing method approach is exampled. Acquired data using USDA Maricopa first mobile platforms, such as the Proximal Sensing Cart Mark 1, where the first cluster sensor bracket design and rickshaw inspired operator's handle were successfully employed. SAS and GIS compute processing output tables, including Excel formatted examples are presented, where intermediate data tabulation and analysis is available. The weekly proximal sensing data collected include canopy reflectance at six wavelengths, ultrasonic distance sensing of canopy height, and infrared thermometry.
Ten levels gradient irrigation application from linear move sprinkler system were applied. Soil physical texture and fertility chemistry results are available. Durum wheat data includes in-season biomass and plant N content, final total biomass, grain yield, grain nitrogen, and yellow berry assessment.
