1. Precision Nitrogen Management and Global Nitrogen Use EfficiencyTraditionally, nitrogen (N) fertilizers have been applied uniformly across entire field while ignoring inherent spatial variation in crop N needs across crop fields. This results in either too little or too much application of N in various parts of the ... M. Gupta, R. Khosla |
2. Categorization of Districts Based on Nonexchangeable Potassium: Generation GIS Maps and Implications in Efficient K Fertility Management in Indian AgricultureRecommendations of K fertilizer are made based on available (exchangeable + water soluble) K status only in India and other despite of substantial contribution of nonexchangeable fraction of soil K to crop K uptake. Present paper examines the information generated in the last 30 years on the status of nonexchangeable K in Indian soils, categorization of Indian soils based on exchangeable and nonexchangeable K fractions and making K recommendations. Data for both K fractions of dif... C. Srinivasa rao, K. Rao, H. Magen, B. Venkateswarlu, A. Subba rao |
3. A Statistical and an Agronomic Approach for Definition of Management Zones in Corn and SoybeanThe use of productivity level management zones (MZ) has demonstrated good potential for the site-specific management of crop inputs in traditional row crops. The objectives of this research were to analyze the process of defining MZs and develop methods to evaluate the quality of MZ maps. Two approaches were used to select the layers to be used in the MZ definition: 1) Statistical Approach (SA_MZ) and 2) Agronomic Approach (AA_MZ). The difference is that in the AA_MZ approach all non stable v... C.L. Bazzi, E.G. Souza, R. Khosla, R.M. Reich |
4. Use of Chemical and Physical Attributes Of the Soil in Management Units DefinitionSeveral equipments and methodologies have been developed to make available precision agriculture, especially the high cost of its implantation and sampling. An interesting ... C.L. Bazzi, E.G. Souza, L.H. Nobrega, M.A. Uribe-opazo, D.M. Rocha |
5. Early Detection of Corn N-Deficiency by Active Fluorescence Sensing in MaizeGlobally, the agricultural nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is no more than 40 %. This low efficiency comes with an agronomic, economic and environmental cost. By better management of spatial and temporal variability of crop nitrogen need, NUE can be improved. Currently available crop canopy sensors based on reflectance are cap... R. Khosla, D.G. Westfall, L. Longchamps |

8. Precision Fertigation in Wheat for Sustainable Agriculture in Saudi ArabiaWheat is an important cereal crop of Saudi Arabia grown on an area of 250,000 ha with an annual production of 1,260,000 metric tons. The crop is cultivated on sandy soils using sprinkler irrigation under center pivots. The crop is sown in Nove... V.C. Patil, K.A. Al-gaadi |
9. Soil pH maps Derived from On-the-Go pH-Measurements as Basis for Variable Lime Application under German Conditions: Concept Development and Evaluation in Field Trials... A. Borchert, D. Trautz, H. Olfs |

11. Deriving Nitrogen Indicators of Maize Using the Canopy Chlorophyll Content IndexMany spectral indices have been proposed to derive aerial nitrogen (N) status parameters of crops in recent decades. However, most of red light based spectral indices easily loss sensitivity at moderate-high aboveground biomass. The objective of present study is to assess the performance of red edge bas... Y.

15. Performance Evaluation of STICS Crop Model to Simulate Corn Growth Attributes in Response to N Rate and Climate VariationsImproving nitrogen use efficiency in crop plants contributes to increase the sustainability of agriculture. Crop models could be used as a tool to test the impact of climatic conditions on crop growth under several N management practices and to refine N application recommendation and strategy. STICS, a crop growth simulator developed by INRA (France), has the capability to assimilate leaf area index (LAI) from remote sensing to re-initialize input parameters, such as seeding date and see...

17. Effect of Urea Application through Drip Irrigation on Yield, Water and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Summer Bitter GourdBitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) is one of the important vegetable crops grown during summer months in high lands of Lower Gangetic Plains. Crop is very much responsive to water and nutrient but water is limiting in dry summer months. Farmers generally adopt furrow irrigation and hand watering with pitcher for growing this crop. Drip irrigation ... S. Goswami, S. Saha |
18. Field Moist Processing for Soil Analysis: Precision Measurement is Required for Precision ManagementIt has been well established over the last 50 years that many of the typical processes used by conventional soil analysis (such as drying and grinding the soil during preparation) can affect measured soil nutrient values. However, these processes have become conventional practice due to a lack of commercially viable methods of processing soil in its native field moist state. Solum, Inc (Mountain View, CA) has developed a process that allows routine, high throughput mea... M. Preiner |
