1. Variable Rate Application Of Nematicides On Cotton Fields: A Promising Site-specific Management StrategyThe impact of two nematicides [ 1,3 – Dichloropropene (Telone® II) and Aldicarb (Temik)] applied at two rates on RKN population density and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lint yield were compared across previously determined RKN management zones (MZ) in commercial fields between 2007 and 2009. The MZ were delineated using fuzzy clustering of various surrogate data for soil texture. All treatments were randomly allocated among... B. Ortiz, C. Perry, D.G. Sullivan, R.C. Kemerait, R.F.

2. New Power-leds Based Illumination System For Fertilizer Granule Motion EstimationEnvironmental problems have become more and more pressing in the past twenty years particularly with the fertilization operation, one main contributor to environmental imbalance. The understanding of the global centrifugal spreading process, most commonly used in Europe, can contribute to provide essential information about fertiliser granule deposition on the soil. This last one can be predicted using a ballistic flight model and several fertilizer characteristic’s determination... F. Cointault, B. Hijazi, J. Dubois, J. Vangeyte, M. Paindavoine |
3. An Open Database of Crop Yield Response to Fertilizer Application for SenegalFood security is one of the major global challenges today. Africa is one of the continents with the largest gaps in terms of challenges for food security. In Senegal, about 60% of the population resides in rural areas and the cropping systems are characterized as a low productivity system, low input and in reduced areas, smallholder subsistence systems. Increasing crop productivity would have a positive impact on food security in this country. One of the main factors limiting crop productivity... F. Gomez, A. Carcedo, A. Diatta, L. Nagarajan, V.
