1. A Crop And Soil Strategy For Sensor-based Variable-rate Nitrogen ManagementCrop-based active canopy sensors and soil-based management zones (MZ) are currently being studied as tools to direct in-season variable-rate N application. Some have suggested the integration of these tools as a more robust decision tool for guiding spatially variable N rates. The objectives of this study were to identify (1) soil variables useful for MZ delineation and (2) determine if MZ could be useful in identifying field areas with... D.F. Roberts, J.F. Shanahan, R.B.

2. A Comparison Of Conventional And Sensor-based Lime Requirement MapsSuccessful variable-rate applications of agricultural inputs, such as lime, rely on quality of input data. Systematic soil sampling is... A.K. Jonjak, V.I. Adamchuk, C.S. Wortmann, C.A. Shapiro, R.B. Fergugson |
3. Precision Agriculture Education Program In NebraskaWith the cost of agricultural inputs and the instability of commodity prices increasing, demand is growing for training in the essential skills needed to successfully implement site-specific crop management. This set of skills is uniquely interdisciplinary in nature. Thus, it is essential for potential users of precision agriculture to understand the basics of geodetic and electronic control equipment, principles of geographic information systems, fundamentals...

4. Analysis Of Water Use Efficiency Using On-the-go Soil Sensing And A Wireless NetworkAn efficient irrigation system should meet the demands of the growing crops. While limited water supply may result in yield reduction, excess irrigation is a waste of resources. To investigate water use efficiency, on-the-go sensing technology was used to reveal soil spatial variability relevant to water holding capacity (in this example, field elevation and apparent electrical conductivity). These high-density data layers were used to identify strategic sites where monitoring water availability... L. Pan, V.I. Adamchuk, D.L. Martin, M.A. Schroeder, R.B. Fergugson |

6. Integrated Crop Canopy Sensing System for Spatial Analysis of In-Season Crop PerformanceOver the past decade, the relationships between leaf color, chlorophyll content, nitrogen supply, biomass and grain yield of agronomic crops have been studied widely....

7. Analysis of Spatial Variability of Key Soil Attributes In North-Central UkraineAs Ukrainian agricultural production undergoes major changes, a better understanding of the diversity of land resources is needed to optimize management. Dealing with large fields (over 100 ha in size) with non-uniform growing conditions presents an opportunity for site-specific management of agricultural inputs. This publication describes our 2010 pilot study on the implementation of integrated mapping of apparent soil electrical conductivity and field topography to guide soil sampling... Y.I. Boyko, V.I.

8. An Approach to Selection of Soil Water Content Monitoring Locations within FieldsIncreased input efficiency is one of the main challenges for a modern agricultural enterprise. One way to optimize production cycles is to rationalize crop residue utilization. In conditions where there is limited use of mineral fertilizers and without applying manure, plant residues may be used as an organic fertilizer as... V.I. Adamchuk, L. Pan, R.B. Ferguson |

10. Evaluation Of The Temporal And Operational Stability Of Apparent Soil Electrical Conductivity MeasurementsMeasuring apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa), using galvanic contact resistivity (GCR) and electromagnetic induction (EMI) techniques is frequently used to implement site-specific crop management. Various research projects have demonstrated the possibilities for significant changes in the measured quantities over time with relatively stable spatial structure representations. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of temporal drift and operational noise for three... V.I. Adamchuk, A. Mat su |
