1. Accounting For Spatial Correlation Using Radial Smoothers In Statistical Models Used For Developing Variable-rate Treatment PrescriptionsVariable-rate treatment prescriptions for use on commercial farms can be developed from embedded field trials on those farms. Such embedded trials typically involve non-random, high-density sampling schemes that result in large datasets and response variables exhibiting spatial correlation. In order to accurately evaluate the significance of the effects of the applied treatments and the measured field characteristics on the response of interest, this spatial correlation must be accounted for in...

2. Site-specific Phosphorus And Potassium Fertilization Of Alfalfa: Fertilizer Usage And Sampling Density ComparisonAlfalfa accounts for the largest cropping area in both the High Desert and Intermountain regions in California, and the use of site-specific management (SSM) can potentially improve farmers’ fertilization practices and crop nutritional status. These areas have limited to no studies regarding nutrient SSM, and variable rate (VR) fertilizer application has not been commonly used by farmers in either area. Considerable range of soil nutrient levels have... A. Biscaro, S. Orloff |
