1. Strategies For Scientific Communication Of Precision Agriculture In BrazilScientific knowledge popularization is the way to the society access technical scientific advances. The challenge is to increase the means, channels and processes of information and relationship with society and decode scientific issues into a format that makes knowledge accessible. The Embrapa Precision Agriculture Network has been used scientific communication strategies at the traditional and new media, as a way of approach with various stakeholders, contributing to the construction...

2. In-field Variability of Terrain and Soils in Southeast Kansas: Challenges for Effective ConservationA particular challenge for crop production in southeast Kansas is the shallow topsoil, underlain with a dense, unproductive clay layer. Concerns for topsoil loss have shifted production systems to reduced tillage or conservation management practices. However, historical erosion events and continued nutrient and sediment loss still limit the productive capacity of fields. To improve crop production and further adoption of conservation practices, identification of vulnerable areas of fields was... G.F. Sassenrath, T. Mueller, V.J. Alarcon, S.E. Kulesza, D. Shoup |
3. Variable-Rate-Fertilization of Phosphorus and Lime – Economic Effects and Maximum Allowed Costs for Small-Scale Soil AnalysisThe pH values and macro nutrient contents are characterised by considerable variance within a field. A constant-rate-fertilization, which is practiced at most farms, does not reduce this effect, it may even boost variance. Besides the suboptimal nutrient supply, the site-specific yield potential is not exploited. Constant-rate-fertilization and liming results in an inefficient utilisation by over- and undersupply of most of the areas within a field. Fertilization with lime and phosphorus causes... S.
