1. Sources of Information to Delineate Management Zones for CottonCotton in Brazil is an input-intensive crop. Due to its cultivation in large fields, the spatial variability takes an important role in the management actions. Yield maps are a prime information to guide site-specific practices including delineation of management zones (MZ), but its adoption still faces big challenges. Other information such as historical satellite imagery or soil electrical conductivity might help delineating MZ as well as predicting crop performance. The objective of this work... R.G.

2. On-the-go Measurements of pH in Tropical SoilThe objective of this study was to assess the performance of a mobile sensor platform with ion-selective antimony electrodes (ISE) to determine pH on-the-go in a Brazilian tropical soil. The field experiments were carried out in a Cambisol in Piracicaba-SP, Brazil. To create pH variability, increasing doses (0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 Mg ha-1) of lime were added on the experimental plots (25 x 10 m) one year before the data acquisitions. To estimate soil pH levels we used a Mobile Sensor Platform... M.T. Eitelwein, R.G. Trevisan, A.F. Colaço, M.R. Vargas, J.P. Molin |
3. Utilizing Weather, Soil, and Plant Condition for Predicting Corn Yield and Nitrogen Fertilizer ResponseImproving corn (Zea mays L.) nitrogen (N) fertilizer rate recommendation tools should increase farmer’s profits and help mitigate N pollution. Weather and soil properties have repeatedly been shown to influence crop N need. The objective of this research was to improve publicly-available N recommendation tools by adjusting them with additional soil and weather information. Four N recommendation tools were evaluated across 49 N response trials conducted in eight U.S. states over three growing... N.R. Kitchen, M.A. Yost, C.J. Ransom, G. Bean, J. Camberato, P. Carter, R.
