1. Transient Water Flow Model in a Soil-Plant System for Subsurface Precision IrrigationThe spatial variability of plant-water characteristic in the soil is still unclear. This limits the attempt to model the soil-plant-atmosphere system with this factor. Understanding the non-steady water flow along the soil-plant component is essential to understand their spatial variability.... M.B. Zainal abidin, S. Shibusawa, M. Ohaba, Q. Li, M. Kodaira, M.B.

2. Water Distribution Response in a Soil-Root System for Subsurface Precision IrrigationA subsurface capillary irrigation system with a water source buried in a soil has been developed for precision irrigation. This system has advantages in the efficient irrigation to save much water and the real time measurement of evapotranspiration of plants. Creating this new subsurface capillary... S. Shibusawa, M.

3. Adaptive Control of Capillary Water Flow Under Modified Subsurface Irrigation Based on a SPAC ModelSoil moisture in a rhizosphere of a tomato is controlled adaptively based on a simple soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) model. The water flow from a soil through a plant to the atmosphere is governed by the analogous rule of the SPAC model. In our experiment, we assume that plant transpiration is only affected by the water-potential of air when the soil moisture... M. Ohaba, M.B. zainal abidin, Q. Li, S. Shibusawa, M. Kodaira, K.

4. Variability In Wheat Crop Production Based On Management Zones In Humid Pampas Region, ArgentinaCrop productivity within fields is heterogeneous and it responds to the variation in crop management patterns, and in previous, random, and natural crop management factors. The methodologies for the delimitation of management zones (MZ) within production fields differ based on their application objectives. The objectives... M. L, M. Diaz-zorita, P. Mercuri |
5. Contour Planting: A Strategy To Reduce Soil Erosion On Steep SlopesPractices that combine GPS-based guidance for terrain contouring and tillage for runoff detention have potential to increase water infiltration and reduce runoff. The objective of this study was to investigate contour planting as a means to reduce soil erosion on steep slopes of the Columbia Plateau dryland wheat region. An exploratory field study was conducted on a Ritzville... D.S. Long, S.B. Wuest, J.D. Williams, M.J. Bailey, |
6. Nitrogen And Water Stress Impacts Hard Red Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum) Canopy ReflectanceRemote sensing-based in-season N recommendations have been proposed as a technique to improve N fertilizer use efficiency. Remote sensing estimation of South Dakota hard red spring wheat N requirements needs assessment. Research objectives were: (1) determine the effect of an in-season N application on grain yield, yield loss to nitrogen stress (YLNS), and grain protein; and (2) assess if remote sensing collected at different growth stages may be used to predict yield...

7. On-combine Sensing Technique For Mapping Straw Yield Within Wheat FieldsStraw from production of wheat is available for conversion to bioenergy. However, not all of this straw is available for conversion because a certain amount must be returned to the soil for conservation. County and state-wide inventories do not account for variation within farm fields. In this study, a technique is described that applies information from on-combine crop sensors into estimation of straw yield across fields. Straw yield... D.S. Long, , |
8. 3D Map in the Depth Direction of Field for Precision AgricultureBy a change in eating habits with economic development and the global population growth, we have been faced with the need for increased food production again. In order to solve the food problem in the future, the introduction of agriculture organization is progressing in emerging countries as well as developed countries. However, the occurrence of natural disasters and abnormal weather, which is becoming a worldwide problem at present, is further weakening the crops of farm... H. Umeda, S. Shibusawa, Q. Li, K.

9. Using A Potable Spectroradiometer For In-Situ Measurement Of Soil Properties In A Slope Citrus FieldIn precision agriculture, rapid, non-destructive, cost-effective and convenient soil analysis techniques are needed for crop and soil management. However, the spatial variability of soil properties is consider to be high cost and time consuming to characterize using traditional soil analysis method. To achieve cost and time reduction, the potential benefits of in-situ measurement of soil spectra have been recognized. ... S. Shibusawa, H. Umeda, K. Usui, M. Kodaira, Q. Li |
10. Water Use Efficiency of Precision Irrigation System Under Critical Water-Saving ConditionNon-transpiration water loss is often neglected when evaluating water use efficiency (WUE) of precision irrigation system, due to the difficulties in determining water loss from the root zone. The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a new water saving approach by controlling soil water retention around root zone during the plant growth. We grew two tomato cultivars (Anemo, Japanese variety) in an environmental controlled growth chamber, with previously oven dried and sieved... Q. Li, T. Sugihara, M. Kodaira, S. Shibusawa |
