Extracting Machine Performance Information From Site-Specific Grain Yield Data to Enhance Crop Production Management PracticesPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Pp. 250-256 in Proceedings of the World Congress of Computers in Agriculture and Natural Resources (13-15, March 2002, Iguacu Falls, Brazil) 701P0301.(doi:10.13031/2013.8338)Authors: M.T. Crisler, R.M. Strickland, D.R. Ess, S.D. Parsons Keywords: Effective field capacity, Field efficiency, Grain yield data, Machinery management, Site-specific management Methods were developed to extract combine performance and capacity information from site-specific, geo-referenced grain yield data files that could aid in the enhancement of crop production management practices. Combine performance as measured by effective field capacity is a function of combine speed, effective header width and field efficiency. Microsoft (Microsoft Corporation. Seattle, Washington) Excel macros were developed to allow users to more easily extract this information from the yield data files. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
