Patent number: 12175400Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and related systems for precision crop modeling and management using the same. Precision crop modeling and management can be incorporated into various methods for growing plants such as crop plants and various methods for managing the growth of such plants in a particular field. The methods generally utilize in-season information relating to weather conditions actually experienced by the field to prepare mid-season, updated crop management plans. A crop management plan is determined using a crop model incorporating a variety of inputs and plant-specific material and energy balances to specify one or more grower-controlled management parameters. An updated plan for a given field can be followed by a grower to increase crop yield and/or optimize one or more other crop or field parameters.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2023Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITYInventor: Bruno Basso

Publication number: 20240020774Abstract: Nitrogen-based agricultural crop fertilizers are known to be a source of N2O emission, due to various direct and indirect processes. For example microbial activity, volatilization from spraying, volatilization from evaporative processes, and the like cause N2O emission. From a standpoint of environmental science, various “precision conservation” methods and adaptations to nitrogen fertilizer application can mitigate these processes. By reducing these processes, and thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, carbon credit programs can be leveraged.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventor: Bruno BASSO

Publication number: 20190335674Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods for mapping temporal and spatial stability and sustainability of a cropping system. In some methods, remote sensing imagery over multiple time series elements (such as for past growing seasons) is used to characterize small-scale field stability and variability relative to larger surrounding land areas. In some methods, remote sensing imagery over multiple time series elements (such as for the growing season) is used to characterize small-scale field stability and variability relative to larger surrounding land areas. In some methods, a crop model is used to determine dependent cropping system parameters related to agricultural sustainability, which can be used to characterize small-scale field sustainability scores for such parameters relative to larger surrounding land areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2017Publication date: November 7, 2019Inventor: Bruno BASSO
