Sugar beet research uses trials to determine when a variety, seed treatment, or chemical application is significant enough to be worth merit.\u00a0 Data is collected in the spring with stand establishment and also when harvest occurs in the fall.\u00a0 Trial data gathered is used to determine whether or not there are benefits of using a seed treatment during the growing season.\u00a0 Our R&D team<\/a> recently incorporated the Cyclops imagery program into our data collection process for sugar beet field trials.\u00a0 An additional step of data collection and analysis, the Cyclops<\/a> program helps to determine if a treatment is showing positive results early in the growing season.<\/p>\n

Gathering Photos for Cyclops Image Analysis<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

The Cyclops program consists of a series of photos taken of a designated plot within a trial.\u00a0 Each set of images is then analyzed to determine plant population, average leaf area, and total leaf area.\u00a0 This data can be used in addition to stand counts and harvest data to determine the advantage one treatment has over another.<\/p>\n

Analyzing Data to Determine the Benefits of Seed Treatments<\/h2>\n

Analyzing the data is a huge job. The pictures of the plots are taken and merged so the whole plot can be analyzed.\u00a0\u00a0 A proprietary computer program measures how many plants are in the plot and the amount of leaf area covered within the plot.\u00a0 After the plots are analyzed the information is sorted and put into tables and charts to determine the results.\u00a0 The image data gives insight into how emergence effects leaf area and if yield results from the differences in early plant vigor.<\/p>\n

Cyclops Image Analysis Measuring Leaf Mass to Help Determine Benefits of Seed Treatment<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Because the Cyclops system is measuring leaf area, to ensure data accuracy it is important that the designated test plots are free of weeds and that images are taken early before the plant leaves begin to overlap. The Cyclops program helps fill the gap in data collection between planting and harvest.\u00a0 Plant populations and leaf areas may be used to determine if a treatment will show a benefit over another treatment.\u00a0 The Cyclops program will continue to advance as technology allows further data collection and analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
