1. Toward More Precise Sugar Beet Management Based On Geostatistical Analysis Of Spatial Variabilty Within FieldsAbstract: Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) yields in England are predicted to increase in the future, due to the advances in plant breeding and agronomic progress, but the intra-field variations in yield due to the variability in soil properties is considerable. This paper explores the within-field spatial variation in environmental variables and crop development during the growing season and their link to spatial variation in sugar beet yield.... A.J.

2. Consequences of Spatial Variability in the Field on the Uniformity of Seed Quality in Barley Seed CropsSpatial variation is known to affect cereal growth and yield but consequences for seed quality are less well-known. Intra-field spatial variation occurs in soil and environmental variables and these are expected to affect the crop. The objective of this paper was to identify the spatial variation in barley seed quality and to investigate its association with environmental factors and the spatial scale over which this correlation occurs. Two uniformly-managed, commercial fields of winter... S. Hama rash, A.J. Murdoch |
