1. Precision Nitrogen Management Based on Nitrogen Removal in Rainfed WheatGrowers of hard red spring wheat may capture price premiums for maximizing the protein concentration of their grain. Nitrogen (N) nutrition adequacy is crucial to achieving high grain protein concentration. The objective of this study was to determine the usefulness of N removal maps by comparing grain protein, yields, and dollar returns obtained from this precision N management approach with that from conventional uniform N management. Strip plot experiments were designed to compare spatially... D.J. Bonfil, I. Mufradi, S. Asido, D.S. Long |
2. On-combine Near Infrared Spectroscopy Applied to Prediction of Grain Test WeightWhole grain near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a widely accepted method for analysis of the protein and moisture contents of grain, but is seldom applied to predict test weight. Test weight is a widely used specification for grading of wheat and predictor of flour yield. The objective of this study was to determine whether NIR spectroscopy could be used for measuring the test weight of grain. Reference grain samples of hard red spring wheat were obtained from dryland fields in the semiarid Negev... D.J. Bonfil, I. Mufradi, S. Asido, D.S. Long |
3. Crop Price Variation and Water Saving Technologies in Alborz Province of IranConsidering the importance and scarcity of water resources, the efficient management of water resources is of great imp,ortance. Adoption of modern irrigation technology is considered to be a key of increasing the efficiency of water used in agriculture. Policy makers have implemented several ways to induce the adoption of new irrigation technology. The empirical studies show that farmers are reluctant to utilize the use of new irrigation methods. This study aims to assess factors affecting on... S. Yazdani, S. Nikravesh, S. Bagheri |
