1. Estimating Spatial Variation In Annual Pasture YieldYield mapping is an essential tool for precision management of arable crops. Crop yields can be measured once, at harvest, automatically by the harvesting machinery, and be used to inform a wide range of activities. However yield mapping has had minimal adoption by pastoral farmers. Yield mapping is also a potentially valuable tool for precision management of pastures. However it is difficult to practically map yields on pastures, as they... S.J. Dennis, W. Clarke-hill, A. Taylor, R. Dynes, K. O'neill, T. Jowett |
2. Soil And Crop Spatial Variability In Cotton Grown On Deep Black Cotton SoilsSoil spatial variation is observed under similar management situation in cotton growing soils of Northern Karnataka. In view of this an experiment was conducted to study the spatial variability in soil with respect soil reaction (pH), Electrical conductivity (Ec), Organic carbon (OC%), all major (N,P,K), secondary (Ca, Mg and S) and micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn) by assessing soil nutrients in deep black cotton soils of the experimental station for...

3. Soil Moisture Variability on Golf Course Fairways Across the United States: an Opportunity for Water Conservation with Precision IrrigationFairways account for an average of 11.3 irrigated hectares on each of the 15,000+ golf courses in the US. Annual median water use per hectare on fairways is between ~2,800,000 and 14,000,000 liters, depending on the region. Conventional fairway irrigation relies on visual observation of the turfgrass, followed by secondary considerations of short-term weather forecasts, which oftentimes lead to “blanket” applications to the entire area. The concept of precision irrigation is a strategy... C. Straw, C. Bolton, J. Young, R. Hejl, J. Friell, E. Watkins |
