1. Variable-rate Irrigation Management For Peanut Using Irrigator ProVariable-rate irrigation has the potential to save substantial water. These water savings will become more important as urban, industrial, and environmental sectors compete with agriculture for available water. However, methodologies to precision-apply water for maximum agronomic and economic utility are needed. Information is needed to optimally management variable-rate irrigation systems. In this study, we conducted irrigation experiments on peanut to compare... K. Stone, P.J. Bauer, W.J. Busscher, J.A. Millen, D.E. Evans, E.E. Strickland |
2. 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 measured... P.J. Bauer |
3. Assessing Impact Of Precision On Agricultural Energy Requirements: Weed Control Case StudyThe anticipated world population increase demands growth in sustainable food production. The current trend is to use more efficient agricultural processes in order to increase food production. Precision agriculture (PA) technology provides the means to increase equipment productivity and field and input efficiency. The concept of small modular and scalable intelligent machines tries to address the challenge of more productivity with the goal of reduced cost and power. In addition,... S. Brian, O.M. Toledo, L.
