1. Exploiting The Variability In Pasture Production On New Zealand Hill Country.New Zealand has about four million hectares in medium to steep hill country pasture to which granular solid fertiliser is applied by airplane. On most New Zealand hill country properties where cultivation is not possible the only means of influencing pasture production yield is through the addition of fertilizers and paddock subdivision to control grazing and pasture growth rates. Pasture response to fertilizer varies in production zones within the farm which can be modelled... M.Q. Grafton, P.J. Mcveagh, R.R. Pullanagari, I.J. Yule |
2. Toward Geopolitical-Context-Enabled Interoperability in Precision Agriculture: AgGateway's SPADE, PAIL, WAVE, CART and ADAPTAgGateway is a nonprofit consortium of 240+ businesses working to promote, enable and expand eAgriculture. It provides a non-competitive collaborative environment, transparent funding and governance models, and anti-trust and intellectual property policies that guide and protect members’ contributions and implementations. AgGateway primarily focuses on implementing existing standards and collaborating with other organizations to extend them when necessary. In 2010 AgGateway identified... R. Ferreyra, D.B.

3. Effect of Soil Solarization, a Nonchemical Method, on the Control of Egyptian Boomrape (Orobanche Aegyptiaca) and Yield Improvement in Greenhouse Grown CucumberCucumber cultivation in the Mediterranean region is susceptible to infestation by the parasitic weed egyptian broomrape (Orobanche aegyptiaca), and severe yield losses can result. The effectiveness of solarization, a soil disinfection technique that uses passive solar heating, to control the incidence of broomrape under greenhouse conditions was studied over two growing seasons. Solarization was accomplished by the application of clear polyethylene sheets to moist soil for 50 to 65 d... Z.Y. Ashrafi, H.M. Alizadeh, S. Sadeghi |
