1. Estimating Soil Productivity And Energy Efficiency Using Websoil Survey, Soil Productivity Index Calculator, And Biofuel Energy Systems SimulatorSoils have varying production capacities for a specific plant or sequence of plants under defined management strategies. The production capacity or “productivity” can be quantified as a mathematical function of a soils ability to sufficiently sustain plant growth... K.D. Reitsma, T.E. Schumacher |
2. Prediction of Nitrogen Needs with Nitrogen-rich Strips and Ramped Nitrogen StripsBoth nitrogen rich strips and ramped nitrogen strips have been used to estimate topdress nitrogen needs for winter wheat based on in-season optical reflectance data. The ramped strip system places a series of small plots in each field with increasing levels of nitrogen to determine the application rate at which predicted yield response to nitrogen reaches a plateau. The nitrogen-rich strip system uses a nitrogen fertilizer optimization algorithm based on optical reflectance measures from the nitrogen-rich... D.C. Roberts, B.W. Brorsen, W.R. Raun, J.B. Solie |
