1. Comparing Adapt-N to Static N Recommendation Approaches for US Maize ProductionLarge temporal and spatial variability in soil N availability leads many farmers across the US to over apply N fertilizers in maize (Zea Mays L.) production environments, often resulting in large environmental N losses. Static N recommendation tools are typically promoted in the US, but new dynamic model-based tools allow for more precise and adaptive N recommendations that account for specific production environments and conditions. This study compares two static N recommendation tools,... H. Van es, S. Sela, R. Marjerison, B. Moebiu-clune, R. Schindelbeck, D. Moebius-clune |
2. Using the Adapt-N Model to Inform Policies Promoting the Sustainability of US Maize ProductionMaize (Zea mays L.) production accounts for the largest share of crop land area in the U.S. It is the largest consumer of nitrogen (N) fertilizers but has low N Recovery Efficiency (NRE, the proportion of applied N taken up by the crop). This has resulted in well-documented environmental problems and social costs associated with high reactive N losses associated with maize production. There is a potential to reduce these costs through precision management, i.e., better application timing, use... S. Sela, H. Van-es, E. Mclellan, J. Melkonian, R. Marjerison , K. Constas |
3. Spatially Explicit Prediction of Soil Nutrients and Characteristics in Corn Fields Using Soil Electrical Conductivity Data and Terrain AttributesSite specific nutrient management (SSNM) in corn production environments can increase nutrient use efficiency and reduce gaseous and leaching losses. To implement SSNM plans, farmers need methods to monitor and map the spatial and temporal trends of soil nutrients. High resolution electrical conductivity (EC) mapping is becoming more available and affordable. The hypothesis for this study is that EC of the soil, in conjunction with detailed terrain attributes, can be used to map soil nutrients... S. Sela, N. Graff, K. Mizuta, Y. Miao |
4. From Fragmented Data to Unified Insights: Leveraging Data Standardization Tools for Better Collaboration and Agronomic Big Data AnalysisThe quantity and scope of agronomic data available for researchers in both industry and academia is increasing rapidly. Data sources include a myriad of different streams, such as field experiments, sensors, climatic data, socioeconomic data or remote sensing. The lack of standards and workflows frequently leads agronomic data to be fragmented and siloed, hampering collaboration efforts within research labs, university departments, or research institutes. Researchers and businesses therefore allocate... S. Sela |
