3. Development Of A System For Site-specific Nematicide Placement In Cotton

Nematode distribution varies significantly in cotton fields. Population density throughout a field is highly correlated to soil texture. Field-wide application of a uniform nematicide rate results in the chemical being applied to areas without nematodes or where nematode densities are below an economic threshold, or the application of sub-effective levels in areas with high nematode densities. The investigators have developed a “Site- Specific Nematicide Placement”...

4. A Clustering Approach For Management Zone Delineation In Precision Agriculture

In recent years, an increasing amount of research has been devoted to the delineation of management zones. There have been quite a number of approaches towards using small-scale data for subdividing the field into a small number of zones, usually three or four. However, these zones are usually static, often require multi-year data sets and are based on low-resolution sampling methods for data acquisition. Furthermore, existing research into th... G. Ru, M.

13. Spatial-temporal Management Zones For Biomass Moisture

 Biomass handling operations (harvesting, raking, collection, and transportation) are critical operations within the agricultural production system since they constitute the first link in the biomass supply chain, a fact of substantial importance considering the increasingly involvement of biomass in bio-refinery and bio-energy procedures.

17. Assessment Of The Success Of Variable Rate Seeding Based On EMI Maps

  Good plant establishment is the critical first step in growing a crop. To achieve this, the correct seed rate must be calculate. This is done by assessing the optimum target plant population per m² and then making an estimate of any  losses over winter. Losses will depend on the quality of seedbed created which is related to texture, stoniness and compaction of the soil. If there is any variation in these field characteristics then the correct see... S. Griffin, M. Darr

18. Spatio-temporal Analysis Of Atrazine Degradation And Associated Attributes In Eastern Colorado Soils

Atrazine catabolism is an example of a rapidly evolved soil microbial adaptation.

While the presence of atrazine-degrading bacteria determine a soil's potential to catabolize at... M. Stromberger, R. Khosla, D. Shaner, D. Zach

19. Validation Of On-the-go Soil Ph-measurements – Primary Results From Germany

Until recently in-field variability for soil pH could not be considered for agronomic decisions (e.g. liming rates) because reliable spatial information was hardly available.

26. Spatial Variability Of Spikelet Sterility In Temperate Rice In Chile

Spikelet sterility (blanking) causes large economic losses to rice farmers in Chile. The most common varieties are susceptible to low air and water temperatures during pollen formation and flowering, which is the main responsible for the large year to year variation observed in terms of blanking and, therefore, of grain yield. The present work had for objective to study the spatial variability of spikelet sterility within two rice fields, during two consecutive seasons, and relate it to water... R.A. Ortega, D.E.
