1. Spatial Variability of Soil Nutrients and Precision Nutrient Management for Targeted Yield Levels of Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea L.)A field study was conducted during rabi / summer 2014-15 to know the spatial variability and precision nutrient management practices on targeted yield levels of groundnut. The experimental field has been delineated into 36 grids of 9 m x 9 m using geospatial technology. Soil samples from 0-15 cm were collected and analysed. Spatial variability exists for available nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium and they varied from 99 to 197 kg N, 12.1 to 64.0 kg P2O5 and 166... H. D.c, S. Dr., N. Dr., M. Giriyappa, S. T |
2. Exploring the Use of a Model-based Nitrogen Recommendation Tool and Vegetation Indices for In-season Corn Nitrogen Management in AlabamaEfficient nitrogen (N) management is critical for sustainable agriculture. Crop N needs and uptake changes within a field and it is annually influenced by weather conditions. Hence, site-specific in-season N application strategies are important to achieve optimum corn yield while minimizing negative impacts on the environment. This study evaluates the Adapt-N tool for in-season variable rate N application at two farmers’ fields in Alabama. The Adapt-N tool integrates soil and crop-based... P.R. Duarte, B.V. Ortiz, E.
