1. Evaluation of the Potential for Precision Agriculture and Soil Conservation at Farm and Watershed Scale: A Case StudyPrecision agriculture and soil conservation have the potential to increase crop yield and economic return while reducing environmental impacts. Landform, spatial variability of soil processes, and temporal trends may affect crop N response and should be considered for precision agriculture. The objective of this research was to evaluate the viability of precision agriculture in improving N use efficiency and profitability at the farm and watershed level in western Canada. Two studies are described... M. Khakbazan, A. Moulin, J. Huang, P. Michiels, R. Xie |
2. Spatial and Temporal Factors Impacting Incremental Corn Nitrogen Fertilier Use EfficiencyCurrent tools for making crop N fertilizer recommendations are primarily based on plot and field studies that relate the recommendation to the economic optional N rate (EONR). Some tools rely entirely on localized EONR (e.g., MRTN). In recent years, tools have been developed or adapted to account for within-field variation in crop N need or variable within season factors. Separately, attention continues to elevate for how N fertilizer recommendations might account for environmental... N.R. Kitchen, C.J. Ransom, J.S. Schepters, J.L. Hatfield, R. Massey |
