1. Adoption And Perceived Usefulness Of Precision Soil Sampling Information In Cotton ProductionSoil testing assists farmers in identifying nutrient variability to optimize input placement and timing. Anecdotal evidence suggests that soil test information has a useful life of 3–4 years. However, perceived usefulness may depend on a variety of factors, including field variability, farmer experience and education, farm size, Extension, and factors indirectly related to farming. In 2009, a survey of cotton farmers in 12 Southeastern states collected information... D.C. Harper, D.M. Lambert, B.C. English, J.A. Larson, R.K. Roberts, M. Velandia, D.F. Mooney, S.L. Larkin |
2. Real Time Precision Irrigation with Variable Setpoint for Strawberry to Generate Water SavingsWater is a precious resource that is becoming increasingly scarce as the population grows and water resources are depleted in some locations or under increased control elsewhere, due to local availability or groundwater contamination issues. It obviously affects strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) production in populated areas and water cuts are being imposed to many strawberry growers to save water, with limited information on the impact on crop yield. Precision irrigation technologies are... J. Caron, L. Anderson, G. Sauvageau, L. Gendron |
