1. Spatial Variability Of Crop And Soil Properties In A Crop-livestock Integrated SystemThe knowledge of spatial variability soil properties is useful in the rational use of inputs, as in the site specific application of lime and fertilizer. The objective of this work was to map and evaluate the spatial variability of the crop, soil chemical and physical properties. The study was conducted in 2 areas of 6.9 and 11.7 ha of a Typic Haplustox in Sao Carlos, SP, Brazil. The summer crops corn and sorghum were sowed together to the forage crop Brachiaria brizantha in the system of crop-pasture... A.C. Bernardi, C.R. Grego, R.G. Andrade, C.M. Vaz, L.M. Rabello, R.Y.

2. Comparing Predictive Performance of Near Infrared Spectroscopy at a Field, Regional, National and Continental Scales by Using Spiking and Data Mining TechniquesThe development of accurate visible and near infrared (vis-NIR) spectroscopy calibration models for selected soil properties is a crucial step for variable rate application in precision agriculture. The objective of the present study was to compare the prediction performance of vis-NIR spectroscopy at local, regional, national and continental scales using data mining techniques including spiking. Fresh soil samples collected from farms in the UK, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands... S.M. Nawar, A.M. Mouazen, D. George, A. Manfield |
3. Applying a Bivariate Frequency Ratio Technique for Potato High Yield Susceptibility MappingSpatial variation of soil characteristics and vegetation conditions are viewed as the most important indicators of crop yield status. Therefore, this study was designed to develop a crop yield prediction model through spatial autocorrelation between the actual yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) crop and selected yield status indicators (soil N, EC, pH, texture and vegetation condition), where the vegetation condition was represented by the cumulative normalized difference vegetation index...

4. Spatial and Temporal Variability of Soil Biological and Chemical Parameters Following the Introduction of Cover Crops into a Conventional Corn-cotton Rotational SystemMethods to characterize soil microbial diversity and abundance are labor intensive and require destructive sampling that incurs a per unit cost. There are advantages to replacing current methods with remote sensing approaches; the most obvious of which is spatially explicit representation of microbes on agricultural landscapes. Such a method will ultimately address open questions related to (1) the spatial scale of variability in soil microbial activity, and (2) the behavior of microbes in cover... J. Czarnecki, J.P.

5. Predicting Soil Cation Exchange Capacity from Satellite Imagery Using Random Forest ModelsCrop yield variability is often attributed to spatial variation in soil properties. Remote sensing offers a practical approach to capture soil surface properties over large areas, enabling the development of detailed soil maps. This study aimed to predict cation exchange capacity (CEC), a key indicator of soil quality, in the agricultural fields of the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley using digital soil mapping techniques. A total of 15,586 soil samples were collected from agricultural fields... I. Muller, J. Czarnecki, M. Li, B.K. Smith |
