1. Determining Whole-farm Conservation Solutions For Small Farms In Northeastern United StatesOptimal water quality pollution control comes from locating critical nonpoint source pollution areas within a watershed and applying site-specific conservation practices. However, management decisions are implemented at the farm-level. While site-specific conservation practices are crucial for environmental protection, reduction strategies must have economic benefit to the producer if they are to be implemented and maintained. Increased fuel, fertilizer, and grain prices are greatly impacting... T.L. Veith, L.T. Ghebremichael |
2. Optimum Spatial Resolution for Precision Weed ManagementThe occurrence and number of herbicide-resistant weeds in the world has increased in recent years. Controlling these weeds becomes more difficult and raises production costs. Precision spraying technologies have been developed to overcome this challenge. However, these systems still have relatively high acquisition cost, requiring studies of the relation between the spatial distribution of weeds and the economically optimum spatial resolution of the control method. In this context, the objective... R.G. Trevisan, M.T. Eitelwein, M.N. Ferraz, T.R. Tavares, J.P. Molin, D.C. Neves |
