1. Spatial Variability Of Measured Soil Properties Across Site- Specific Management ZonesThe spatial variation of productivity across farm fields can be classified by delineating site-specific management zones. Since productivity is influenced by soil characteristics, the spatial pattern of productivity could be caused by a corresponding variation in certain soil properties. Determining the source of variation in productivity can help achieve more effective site-specific management, the objectives of this study were (i) to characterize the spatial variability of soil physical properties...

2. Attaching Multiple Conductivity Meters To An Atv To Speed Up Precision Agriculture Soil SurveysGround conductivity meters are used in a number of precision agriculture applications, including the estimation of water content, nutrient levels, salinity and depth of topsoil. Typically the Geonics EM38 conductivity meter, and to a lesser extent the EM31, are used for soil surveys. Most conductivity surveys involve towing a ground conductivity meter behind an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). In some situations, such as rutted or sloping fields, it is preferable to mount the conductivity meter directly... E. Morris, A. Clarke, S. Sunley, C. Hill, G. Cranfield |
3. Toward a Precision Agricultural Implementation for Sugar Cane Plantations in Southwestern Region of Colombia, South AmericaThe Colombian Sugar Cane Research Center, CENICAÑA, has initiated an ambitious project for the implementation of Precision Agriculture (PA) technologies in the Cauca river valley region, where one of its main objectives is to have the ability to collect large volumes of geospatial data. The main sugarcane growers in the country perform their work in the selected work area, which covers an area of approximately 242,000 ha, characterized by diverse topographic and edaphic conditions....

4. GIS Web and Mobile Development with Interfaces in QGIS for Variable Rate FertilizationIn this paper we described the implementation of a GIS for Precision Agriculture for sugarcane crop in Colombia. An spatial equation for Variable Rate Fertilization Model was defined using as inputs estimated harvest data, nutrients in soil and fertilizer efficiently. Models for soil and harvest variability are also defined. A personalized plugin for precision agriculture was developed into QGIS software, there is the option of upload maps to a Web and mobile app using the Desktop software and... R. Cuitiva baracaldo, O.
