A system for evaluating the susceptibility of a soybean plant to iron deficiency chlorosis is described. Soybean plants are planted in range and rows multiple micro-plots and a cart is used to pass a radiometric sensor over the micro-plots. The cart may have a sensor housing that is divided into multiple partitions with a radiometric sensor assembly positioned within each partition. Each sensor assembly generates a data signal and a computer receives and stores the data signals. The field cart is positioned above the range. The number of partitions corresponds to the number of rows in the range and each sensor assembly is positioned above a single row.

Automated soybean phenotyping for iron deficiency chlorosis

The invention relates generally to harvesters and, more particularly, to a combine for harvesting row crops, which has been modified, to collect and measure grain continuously from a plurality of strip test plots.

Research plot harvester for continuous plot to plot grain evaluation

The invention relates generally to harvesters and, more particularly, to a combine for harvesting rows crops, which has been modified, to collect and measure grain from two separate small strip test plots. The present invention is a dual plot combine with two separate and distinct internal sections of the combine. The combine's intake has two floatably mounted feeder house. This invention harvests two lots simultaneously while maintaining the integrity of each plots' harvest data. The dual plot combine has two separate unconventional grain paths for collecting and measuring the cleaned grain drums The divided clean grain bin and weigh bucket are positioned at a low position, inside the vertical confines of the combine, on a single side of the combine. The altered grain paths allow the data collection on the clean grain from each plot to be completed quickly. This in turn allows the combine to progress to the next set of two plots quickly.
