1. Precision Irrigation To Improve Water Use EfficiencyEfficient water use is the key to sustainable management of water resources. Over irrigating is wasteful and can lead to leaching of fertilizers and other potential pollutants into both underground and surface water supplies, whereas under irrigation leads to reduced yields. The spatial and temporal characterization of crop water consumption is important for efficient management of water resources and allows water delivery to match agricultural demands. Research... S.

2. Deriving Fertiliser VRA Calibration Based on Ground Sensing Data from Specific Field ExperimentsNitrogen (N) fertilisation affects both rice yield and quality. In order to improve grain yield while limiting N losses, providing N fertilisers during the critical growth stages is essential. NDRE is considered a reliable crop N status indicator, suitable to drive topdressing N fertilisation in rice. A multi-year experiment on different rice varieties (Gladio, Centauro, and Carnaroli) was conducted between 2011 and 2017 in Castello d’Agogna (PV), northwest Italy, with the aim of i) establishing...
