1. Spatial Variability of Soil Properties in Intensively Managed Tropical Grassland in BrazilFor the intensification of tropical grass pastures systems the soil fertility building up by liming and balanced fertilization is necessary. The knowledge of spatial variability soil properties is useful in the rational use of inputs, as in the variable rate application of lime and fertilizers. PA requires methods to indicate the spatial variability of soil and plant parameters. The objective of this work was to map and evaluate the soil properties and maps the site specific liming and fertilizer... G.M. Bettiol, R.Y. Inamasu, L.M. Rabello, A.C. Bernardi, M. Campana, P.P.

2. On-Farm Trials Using Precision Ag in Northeast LouisianaThe availability of yield monitors and precision application equipment on producers’ farms have made it much easier for researchers to take the results from experiment station trials and apply them to producers’ fields. Treatments/methods are applied in strips, by prescription, embedded plots or in combination. Fields are divided into zones for analyzing the harvest yield data. These can include soil type, soil Ec, or other criteria. Treatments are analyzed... D. Burns, D. Overstreet, D. Kruse, R. Frazier, D. Blanche |
3. Optimizing Experimental Design for Determining Economic Nitrogen Levels: Insights on the Use of Monte Carlo SimulationsThe determination of economic nitrogen levels is a pivotal element in the quest for sustainable agricultural practices. Designing experiments to accurately identify these levels, especially in contexts constrained by limited plot availability, poses a significant challenge. In response to these challenges, this study endeavors to demonstrate an approach to optimize the experimental design for identifying economic nitrogen levels, even under such constraints. We employed statistical... C. Matavel, A. Meyer-aurich, H. Piepho |
