1. Indexes for Targeting Buffer Placement to Improve Water QualityTargeting the placement of vegetative buffers may increase their effectiveness to improve watershed water quality. Several GIS-based indexes have been developed to help planners identify relatively better locations for placing buffers. Conservation planners require consistent and clear recommendations on which index should be used in a given planning... Z. Qiu, M.G. Dosskey |
2. A Comparison Of Alternative Methods For Prioritizing Buffer Placement In Agricultural Watersheds For Water Quality ImprovementConservation buffers are a widely used best management practice for reducing agricultural nonpoint source pollution. Various governmental programs and community initiatives have been implemented to adopt conservation buffers for water quality improvement. Since there is substantial cost for installing conservation buffers in watersheds, cost-effectiveness would be improved by targeting buffers to locations where they would produce greater benefit and to avoid locations...

3. Effect of Irrigation Scheduling Technique and Fertility Level on Corn Yield and Nitrogen MovementFlorida has more first magnitude springs that anywhere in the world. Most of these are located in north Florida where agricultural production is the primary basis for the economy. Irrigated corn has become a popular part of the crop rotation in recent years. This project is a study of a corn and peanut rotation investigating Best Management Practices (BMPs) of nitrogen fertility level (336, 246, 157 kg/ha) and irrigation strategies as follows: (i) GROW, mimicking grower’s practices,...
