1. Using GPS-RTK In Crop Variety And Hybrid EvaluationsThe traditional methods used by many to conduct research in crop variety and hybrid evaluations is to blank plant the area, flag the area, or use a physical marker. All of these have disadvantages. In blank planting it may be difficult to plant exactly in the same rows, and can dry the soil and affect seed germination if soil water is limited. Blank planting also destroys crop residues and with skip-row residues are destroyed in the unplanted rows.This method is used for many plots in cooperator’s... R.N. Klein, J.A. Golus |
2. Development Of A System For Site-specific Nematicide Placement In CottonNematode distribution varies significantly in cotton fields. Population density throughout a field is highly correlated to soil texture. Field-wide application of a uniform nematicide rate results in the chemical being applied to areas without nematodes or where nematode densities are below an economic threshold, or the application of sub-effective levels in areas with high nematode densities. The investigators have developed a “Site- Specific Nematicide Placement”... A. Khalilian, W. Henderson, J. Mueller, T. Kirkpatrick, S. Monfort, C. Overstreet |
3. Effect Of Sub-surface Drip Irrigation And Shade On Soil Moisture Uniformity In Residential TurfSub-surface irrigation in turf has advantages over traditional sprinkler systems. Evapotranspiration is reduced and water applied below the root zone promotes deeper root growth. Auditing such applications requires measurement of root-zone soil moisture. Data was taken in 2008 and 2009 on a private lawn in northern California that had just been rebuilt to include both sub-surface drip and overhead spray irrigation systems. A portable wave reflectometer was used to take geo-referenced soil moisture... D. Kieffer |
4. Variability In Wheat Crop Production Based On Management Zones In Humid Pampas Region, ArgentinaCrop productivity within fields is heterogeneous and it responds to the variation in crop management patterns, and in previous, random, and natural crop management factors. The methodologies for the delimitation of management zones (MZ) within production fields differ based on their application objectives. The objectives... M. L, M. Diaz-zorita, P. Mercuri |
5. Mapping Soil Salinity Using Cokriging Method In Arsanjan Plain, Southern IranSalt-affected landscapes are highly sensitive to changes in climatic, edaphic and hydrological conditions in time and space in semi-arid regions such as Arsanjan plain, southern Iran. The objective of this study was to combine digital satellite data with ground based measurements of ECe by cokriging method to possibility improve the soil salinity maps of study area. Soil samples in the 85 sampling site (10187 ha)were collected from 0-30 cm depths, georefrenced using GPS receiver,... M.P. Baghernejad, M.M. Emadi |
6. Traceability And Management Information System Of Agricultural Product Quality Safety In ChinaAgricultural product quality safety is the hot topic in the world. From the technical view, the agricultural production management and traceability are the key measurement for insuring the quality safety. From 2005 until now, we have been investigating... X.

7. Spatial Variability Of Important Soil Characteristics In Semiarid Ecosystems, A Case Study In Arsanjan Plain, Southern IranTimely information on the content and distribution of key soil nutrients in highly calcareous ecosystems is vital to support precision agriculture. Efficient tools to measure within-field spatial variation in soil are important when establishing agricultural field trials and in precision farming. Therefore, soil samples were collected at 0-30 cm depth in highly calcareous soils (Arsanjan plain) and chemically analyzed for nitrate (NO3-), electrical... M.P. Baghernejad, M.M. Emadi |
8. Towards a Multi-Source Record Keeping System for Agricultural Product TraceabilityAgricultural production record keeping is the basis of traceability system. To resolve the problem including single method of information acquisition, weak ability of real-time monitoring and low credibility of history information in agricultural production process, the...
