ABSTRACT

Initial field testing finds commercially available cotton yield monitors to be a promising technology. However, widespread adaptation is limited because of problems maintaining sensor cleanliness and calibration in the real world cotton-harvesting environment. This paper presents the results of two years testing of Zycom and Micro-Trak yield monitoring systems in South Carolina. A Clemson University patent-pending mounting system to help keep sensors clean and in calibration is also evaluated.
