1. Regional Usefulness of Nitrogen Management Zone Delineation ToolsIn the Northern Plains of Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, a number of site-specific tools have been used to delineate nitrogen management zones. A three-year study was conducted using yield mapping, elevation measurements, satellite imagery, aerial Ektochrome® photography, and soil EC to delineate nitrogen management zones and compare these zones to residual fall soil nitrate. At most of the sites, variable-rate N was applied and compared with uniform N application. The site-specific... D. Franzen, F. Casey, J. Staricka, D. Long, J. Lamb, A. Sims, M. Halvorson, V. Hofman |
2. Delineation of Yield Zones Using Optical and Radar Remote SensingIdentifying yield zones in agricultural areas is essential for efficient resource allocation, operational optimization, and decision-making. While optical remote sensing is widely used in precision agriculture, the interest in radar remote sensing data, notably from the Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), has increased due to its operation in the C-band frequency, capturing data through cloud cover and the availability of free data. The main objective of this study was to evaluate whether... I.A. Da Cunha, H. Oldoni, D.D. Melo, L.R. Amaral |
3. Yield Potential Zones and Their Relationship with Soil Taxonomic Classes and Management ZonesThe use of management zones (MZ) to subdivide agricultural areas based on the variability of yield potential and production factors is increasingly being explored by scientific research and demanded by farmers. However, there is still much uncertainty about which layers of information and procedures should be adopted for this purpose. Thus, our goal was to demonstrate whether simplistic approaches to creating MZ can satisfactorily address the variability of yield potential and soil classes. For... L.R. Amaral, H. Oldoni, D.D.

4. Hierarchical Zoning: Targeted Sampling for Soil Attribute MappingThe mapping of soil attributes for fertilizer recommendation remains challenging in precision agriculture. Traditionally, this mapping is done through soil sampling in a regular grid, which generally yields good results when done in denser grids. However, due to the high costs associated with sampling and analysis, sparser grids have been adopted, which has not produced good prediction results. Some studies with directed sampling points to obtain more accurate soil maps have been adopted to address... D.D. Melo, I.A. Da Cunha, T.L. Brasco, H. Oldoni, L.R. Amaral |
5. A Hybrid Non-Destructive Approach Combining Image Processing and Spectral Feature Selection for Grapevine Leaf Water Content EstimationReliable and continuous estimation of leaf water content (LWC) is essential for viticulture, as it enables assessment of spatiotemporal variability in vine water demand and supports improved irrigation management efficiency within Precision Agriculture (PA) practices. Although the gravimetric method based on fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) measurements provides accurate LWC estimates, it is time-consuming, destructive, and exhibits limited scalability for large sample sizes. In contrast,... L.H. Bassoi, B.S. Costa, E.J. Ferreira, H. Oldoni, L.A. Jorge |
6. Comparing Traditional Methods and Digital Platforms for Delineating Management Zones: A Study of Efficiency and AccuracyDigital platforms have emerged as user-friendly tools to support management zone delineation and field monitoring in precision agriculture. However, the algorithms and methods embedded in these platforms may overlook agronomic and operational constraints, limiting their effectiveness in decision-making. This study evaluated the performance of three commercial digital platforms for management zone delineation and compared them with a reference protocol and an... T. Costa Barboza, H. Oldoni, F.D.
