1. A Statistical and an Agronomic Approach for Definition of Management Zones in Corn and SoybeanThe use of productivity level management zones (MZ) has demonstrated good potential for the site-specific management of crop inputs in traditional row crops. The objectives of this research were to analyze the process of defining MZs and develop methods to evaluate the quality of MZ maps. Two approaches were used to select the layers to be used in the MZ definition: 1) Statistical Approach (SA_MZ) and 2) Agronomic Approach (AA_MZ). The difference is that in the AA_MZ approach all non stable variables... C.L. Bazzi, E.G. Souza, R. Khosla, R.M. Reich |
2. Use of Chemical and Physical Attributes Of the Soil in Management Units DefinitionSeveral equipments and methodologies have been developed to make available precision agriculture, especially the high cost of its implantation and sampling. An interesting possibility... C.L. Bazzi, E.G. Souza, L.H. Nobrega, M.A. Uribe-opazo, D.M. Rocha |
3. Smoothness Index Of Thematic MapsA thematic map shows the spatial distribution of one or more specific data themes for standard geographic areas. The thematic maps are generated to represent the studied variables, so interpolators are used to determine their values in places not sampled. It is usually... C.L. Bazzi, E.G. Souza, D. Stiehl |
4. Thematic And Profitability Maps For Precision AgricultureYield maps became economically feasible to farmers with the technological advances in precision agriculture. The evidence of its profitability, however, is still unknown and, rarely, yield variability has been correlated to profitable variability. Differently from... E.G. Souza, C.L.

5. 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 |
6. 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 |
