1. Grassland System Impacts on Spatial Variability of Soil Phosphorus in Eastern CanadaPhosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plants, including grasslands. However, continuous applications of P fertilizer result in P accumulations in the soil, increasing the risk of P losses through runoff and erosion. Since 2008, more than 31 million tonnes of organic fertilizers, representing more than 95,000 tonnes of P2O5, were applied to agricultural fields in Eastern Canada. Thus, grassland systems were fertilized intensively using organic fertilizers with high P... J.D. Nze Memiaghe, A. Cambouris |
2. Assessment of Soil Spatial Properties and Variability Using a Portable VIS-NIRS Soil Probe for On-farm Precision ExperimentationAssessing the spatial variability of soil properties represents an important issue for on-farm sustainable management owing to high cost of sampling densities. Actual methods of soil properties measurement are based on conventional soil sampling of one sample per ha, followed by laboratory analysis, requiring many soil extraction processes and harmful chemicals. This conventional laboratory analysis does not allow exploring spatial variation of soil properties at desired fine spatial scale. Thus,... A. Cambouris, M. Duchemin, E. Lord, N. Ziadi, B.

3. Using VIS-NIR spectroscopy to predict Water-Extractable Soil Phosphorus content in Texas VertisolsPhosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plant growth. However, excessive P application can result in P accumulation in agricultural soils, increasing the risk of P losses to water sources. Water-extractable P (Pw) data are essential for assessing the risk of environmental P losses. Investigating field-scale variability of Pw using visible–near infrared spectroscopy (VIS–NIR) remains limited. This study aimed to develop an empirical relationship between Pw, soil chemical... |
