1. Optimizing Vineyard Irrigation Through The Automatic Resistivity Profiling (arp) Technology. The Proposal Of A Methodological ApproachIn Tuscany, central Italy, grape cultivation and wine production (i.e., Chianti DOCG, Brunello di Montalcino) are farming activities appreciated worldwide. Differently from the past, irrigation is allowed to meet the intense physiological stress that may occur during seasons affected by the increasing climate variability, in order to guarantee quality product and hence high market profitability in many vines areas. Most vineyards... P. Pagni, G.P. Ghinassi, M.P. Vieri |
2. Prediction Of Cation Exchange Capacity Using Visible And Near Infrared SpectroscopyCation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil is a measure of the soil ability to hold positively charged ions and is an important indicator of soil physicochemical characteristic. It is an important property for site specific management of soil nutrients in precision agriculture. The conventional analytical methods used for the determination of CEC are expensive, difficult and time consuming, because different cations must be extracted and determined. Visible and near infrared (vis-NIR) spectroscopy... Y. Ulusoy, Z. Tümsavas, A.M. Mouazen, Y. Tekin |
3. Automated Support Tool for Variable Rate Irrigation PrescriptionsVariable rate irrigation (VRI) enables center pivot management to better meet non-uniform water and fertility needs. This is accomplished through correctly matching system water application with spatial and temporal variability within the field. A computer program was modified to accommodate GIS data layers of grid-based field soil texture properties and fertility needs in making management decisions. The program can automatically develop a variable rate application prescription along the lateral... A.T. Nguyen, A.L. Thompson, K.A. Sudduth, E.D. Vories, A.T. Nguyen |
