1. Should We Increase or Decrease the Fertilization in the Zones with the Highest Crop Productivity Potential?Introduction. In traditional farming, fertilizers are applied homogeneously on the agricultural fields taking into account the average crop recommendation. As most fields are not homogeneous, this results in overfertilization of certain zones and underfertilization of other zones. The excess of nitrate leaches to the surface and groundwaters which causes problems with the water quality. Precision fertilizer management has been proposed to reduce these negative effects.... A.

2. Precision Irrigation Strategies for Climate-resilient Crop Production and Water Resource ManagementDeficit irrigation management practices that best optimize the use of limited water resources without impacting crop yield are necessary to ensure the sustainability of agricultural production. This is particularly crucial in regions characterized by semi-arid climate, like Western Kansas, where the challenge of depleting water resources is worsened by the occurrence of extreme climate conditions. Therefore, a data-driven irrigation management strategy such as one developed based on crop evapotranspiration... K.E. Igwe, I. Onyekwelu, V. Sharda |
