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 wi... D.F. Roberts, J.F. Shanahan, R.B.

2. Comparative Analysis Of Different ApproachesThe efficiency of variable rate seeding (VRS) was confirmed in various crops. It is proven that corn requires increasing seeding rates in high-yielding zones, whereas soybeans need lower rates. However, the data for wheat appeared to be controversial. The aim of our experiment was to determine the most efficient strategy for variable rate fertilization and seeding in spring wheat in the conditions of Canadian Prairies. Two approaches were tested: based on Normalize Difference Vegetation Index... A. Melnitchouck |
3. Quantifying Spatial Variability Of Indigenous Nitrogen Supply For Precision Nitrogen Management In North China Plain... Y. Miao, Q. Cao, Z. Cui, F. Li, T.H. Dao, R. Khosla, X. Chen |
4. Precision Manure Management: It Matters Where You Put Your Manure“Precision fertilizer management” has been around for more than a decade and is practiced widely in Colorado and elsewhere. By precision, we mean application of fertilizer at the right time, in the right place, and in the right amount. However, “Precision Manure Management” is a relatively new concept that converge the best manure management practices with precision nutrient management practices, such as variable rate nutrient application across site-specific managemen...

5. 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 ... M. L, M. Diaz-zorita, P. Mercuri |
6. Evaluation Of Different N Management Strategies Using A Tool For Fuzzy Multi Attributive Comparison Of AlternativesApplication of precision agriculture is related with choosing of optimal agrotechnilogy and, in particular, with definition of the best alternative of N management strategy. A potential satisfactory solution of this decision analysis problem could be the uses of multi attribute decision-making analysis based on fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic (FMADA). This technique provides a means to achieve an optimal decision for real world problems which involve multiple alternatives and criteri... E. Krueger, D. Kurtener, D. Kurtener, R. Khosla |
7. Mepiquat Chloride Application On Cotton At Variable RateMepiquat chloride (1,1-dimethylpiperidinium chloride) are used to control excessive vegetative growth in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) broadcast sprayed by ground or air. As proven by previous researches the variability of the cotton plants height in the field is large enough to justify the application of Mepiquat at variable rate. The major advantages of it are: (i) yield increase; (ii) economy of the applied input; (iii) reducing the potential of environmental pollution. The main objective... P.S. Magalhaes, , |
8. Site-specific Fertilization Management: Influence Of The Past History Of The Addition Of Fertilizers On The Intra Field Variability Of The Rate Of P And K In The Soil.Site specific crop management adapts the fertilizer amount applied in relation to the intra field crop needs. In this context, tries were carried out under field conditions. The aim of the trials was to develop technico-economic baseline data and methodology of soil sampling for precision agriculture in Upper-Normandy. ... C. Duval, J. Llorens, C. Duval, C. Duval, S.

9. Cotton NDVIResponse To Applied N At Different Soil EC LevelsSpatial variability for crop productivity in the southeastern US Coastal Plain is often due to differences in soil water holding capacity. An experiment was conducted to investigate the use of soil EC as an aid in the site-specific application of sidedress N to cotton. Treatments in the study consisted of three N rates (0, 34, and 112 kg N ha-1). Each treatment was replicated four times in plots that were 4 m wide (four cotton rows) and 350 m long. Soil EC was meas... P.J. Bauer |
10. Spatial Variability Of Crop And Soil Properties In A Crop-livestock Integrated SystemThe knowledge of spatial variability soil properties is useful in the rational use of inputs, as in the site specific application of lime and fertilizer. The objective of this work was to map and evaluate the spatial variability of the crop, soil chemical and physical properties. The study was conducted in 2 areas of 6.9 and 11.7 ha of a Typic Haplustox in Sao Carlos, SP, Brazil. The summer crops corn and sorghum were sowed together to the forage crop Brachiaria brizantha in the system of cro... A.C. Bernardi, C.R. Grego, R.G. Andrade, C.M. Vaz, L.M. Rabello, R.Y. Inamasu |
