1. Energy-efficient Wireless Sensor Network System For Soil Moisture Information CollectingCollecting field soil moisture information is the foundation of auto-irrigation. This paper introduced a soil moisture information collecting system based on wireless sensor network (WSN) technology and with application background of automatic drip irrigation for cotton field. Firstly, application background was analyzed and application requirement was defined. The system worked together with a drip irrigation system in cotton field. After study, it was found that the output of soil moisture sensor... R. Zhang, L. Chen, J. Guo, J.G. Warren, J.G. Warren |
2. Regional Usefulness of Nitrogen Management Zone Delineation ToolsIn the Northern Plains of Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, a number of site-specific tools have been used to delineate nitrogen management zones. A three-year study was conducted using yield mapping, elevation measurements, satellite imagery, aerial Ektochrome® photography, and soil EC to delineate nitrogen management zones and compare these zones to residual fall soil nitrate. At most of the sites, variable-rate N was applied and compared with uniform N application. The site-specific... D. Franzen, F. Casey, J. Staricka, D. Long, J. Lamb, A. Sims, M. Halvorson, V. Hofman |
