1. Evaluation of Nitrogen Recommendation Tools for Winter Wheat in NebraskaAttaining both high yield and high nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) simultaneously remains a current research challenge in crop production. Digital ag technologies for site-specific N management have been demonstrated to improve NUE. This is due to the ability of digital technologies to account for the spatial and temporal distribution of crop N demand and available soil N in the field which varies greatly according to... J.

2. Evaluation of Crop Model Based Tools for Corn Site-specific N Management in NebraskaThere is a critical need to reduce the nitrogen (N) footprint from corn-based cropping systems while maintaining or increasing yields and profits. Digital agriculture technologies for site-specific N management have been demonstrated to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, adoption of these technologies remains low. Factors such as cost, complexity, unknown impact and large data inputs are associated with low adoption. Grower’s hands-on experience coupled with targeted research... L. Puntel, L. Thompson , T.

3. Crop Modeling-based Framework to Explore Region-specific Impact of Nitrogen Fertilizer Management on Productivity and Environmental FootprintTo maintain current crop production while reducing negative environmental impacts, improved understanding of the relative impact of the 4Rs for nitrogen (N) management (rate, time, place, and source) for a given geo-agroecosystem are needed and can play a critical role in driving policy, recommendations, and local practices. However, the timeframe and cost required to assess and characterize the impact of N rate and timing over years and weather conditions through field experiments is prohibitive.... L. Thompson, S.

4. Effect of Terrain and Soil Properties on the Effectiveness of Crop-model Based Variable Rate Nitrogen in CornGrowers may be reluctant to adopt variable rate nitrogen (VRN) management because of potential loss in profit and yield. This study assessed the influence of terrain attributes and soil characteristics on the effectiveness of crop-model-based variable rate nitrogen (N) for corn. To evaluate the effectiveness of the VRN methods, yield, total N rate, and N use efficiency (NUE) were compared with the grower’s management. As a crop-model-based recommendation tool, Adapt-N was used. Production... L. Puntel, L. Thompson, G. Balboa, T. Mieno, P. Paccioretti |
