1. Maturity Grape Indicators Obtained By Means Of Earth Observation TechniquesWine producers often need to buy grapes from growers. A good selection of grapes allows obtaining the desired wine quality. This paper presents a procedure to obtain by means of earth observation techniques indices and parameters used in the Spanish vineyards to monitor the state of the grapes. In this way is possible to monitor the ripeness of the grapes or the best time to harvest in such a way that growers can get the highest quality grapes, while producers of wine can select the most appropriate...

2. Claypan Depth Effect on Soil Phosphorus and Potassium DynamicsUnderstanding the effects of fertilizer addition and crop removal on long-term change in spatially-variable soil test P (STP) and soil test K (STK) is crucial for maximizing the use of grower inputs on claypan soils. Using apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) to estimate topsoil depth (or depth to claypan, DTC) within fields could help capture the variability and guide site-specific applications of P and K. The objective of this study was to determine if DTC derived from ECa... L. Conway, M. Yost, N. Kitchen, K. Sudduth, B. Myers |
3. Optimizing Corn Seeding Depth by Soil Texture to Achieve Uniform StandCorn (Zea mays L.) yield potential can be affected by uneven emergence. Corn emergence is influenced by both management and environmental conditions. Varying planting depth and rate as determined by soil characteristics could help improve emergence uniformity and grain yield. This study was conducted to assess varying corn seeding depths on plant emergence uniformity and yield on fine- and coarse-textured soils. Research was conducted on alluvial soil adjacent to the Missouri river with contrasting... S. Stewart, N. Kitcken, M. Yost, L. Conway |
