1. Accounting For Spatial Correlation Using Radial Smoothers In Statistical Models Used For Developing Variable-rate Treatment PrescriptionsVariable-rate treatment prescriptions for use on commercial farms can be developed from embedded field trials on those farms. Such embedded trials typically involve non-random, high-density sampling schemes that result in large datasets and response variables exhibiting spatial correlation. In order to accurately evaluate the significance of the effects of the applied treatments and the measured field characteristics on the response of interest, this spatial correlation must be accounted for in...

2. Precision Agriculture and SpringerMaryse Walsh will be presenting Precision Agriculture, the Springer journal, but also the discipline and its place in the Springer publications overall. The community attending the ICPA has a major role in ensuring the positive development of these publications and the affiliation of the journal to the ISPA will only help. ... M. Walsh |
3. Biological Soil Mapping - Infesttion By Plasmodiophora Brassicae And Soil CharacteristicsClubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a soilborne pathogen that causes severe yield losses in many Brassica crops. It is a increasing problem in many Brassica growing countries. The spores survive for 15-20 years and might cause significant yield losses (>10%), already when 20% of plant are infected. An infestation with a couple of thousands spores/g soil is considered to have the potential to give such significant losses.... C. Aberger, A. Wallenhammar, A. Jonsson |
4. Frameworks for Variable Rate Application of ManureWorldwide, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) losses from agriculture are main contributors to eutrophication of water bodies so that forceful agro-technical measures are required to reduce their diffuse discharge to the environment. With view to worldwide finite mineral rock phosphates efficient standards are required to close the agricultural P cycle. In intensive agricultural livestock production manure is often treated as a waste problem rather than an organic fertilizer and source of nutrients.... H. Lilienthal, S.H. Haneklaus, E. Schnug |
