1. Applications for Precision Agriculture: the Italian Experience of SIRIUS ProjectThis paper reports the results of the project SIRIUS (Sustainable Irrigation water management and River-basin... P. Nino, S. Vanino, F. Lupia, F. Altobelli, F. Vuolo, I. Namdarian, C. De michele |
2. Effect Of Nitrogen Application Rate On Soil Residual N And Cotton YieldA long-term study was conducted on nitrogen application rate and its impact on soil residual nitrogen and cotton (FM960B2RF) lint yield under a drip irrigation production system near Plainview, Texas. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with five nitrogen application rates (0, 56, 112, 168 and 224 kg per ha) and five replications. The soil nitrogen treatment was applied as side dressing. Cotton yield, leaf N, seed N, soil residual nitrate, amount of irrigation, and rainfall data... M. Parajulee, D. Neupane, C. Wang, S.

3. Variable Rate Irrigation Management Using NDVICenter pivot irrigation systems are commonly used for corn and cotton production in the southeast USA. Technology for variable rate water application with center pivots is available; however, it is not widely used due to increased management requirements. Methods to develop dynamic in-season prescriptions in response to changing crop conditions are needed to move this technology forward. The objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of using normalized difference vegetative index... K.C. Stone, P.J. Bauer |
4. Calculating the Water Deficit of Apple Orchard by Means of Spatially Resolved ApproachIn semi-humid climate, spatially resolved analysis of water deficit was carried out in apple orchard (Malus x domestica 'Pinova'). The meteorological data were recorded daily by a weather station. The apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) was measured at field capacity, and twenty soil samples in 30 cm were gathered for texture, bulk density, and gravimetric soil water content analyses. Furthermore, ten trees were defoliated in different ECa regions in order to estimate the leaf... N. Tsoulias, D. Paraforos, N. Brandes, S. Fountas, M. Zude-sasse |
5. Impacts of Interpolating Methods on Soil Agri-environmental Phosphorus Maps Under Corn ProductionPhosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crops production including corn. However, the excessive P application, tends to P accumulation at the soil surface under crops systems. This may contribute to increase water and groundwater pollution by surface runoff. To prevent this, an agri-environmental P index, (P/Al)M3, was developed in Eastern Canada and USA. This index aims to estimate soil P saturation for accurate P fertilizer recommendations, while integrating agronomical aspects... J. Nze memiaghe, A.N. Cambouris, N. Ziadi, M. Duchemin, A. Karam |
6. Delineating Management Zones for Optimizing Soil Phosphorus Recommendations Under a No Till Field in Eastern CanadaCorn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) represent the most common crop rotation in Eastern Canada. These crops are cultivated using no-tillage (NT) practice to enhance agroecosystem sustainability. However, NT practice can cause several agri-environmental issues related to phosphorus (P) stratification, movement and runoff leading to P eutrophication in waters. Another major challenge is the expensive costs of extensive soil sampling and laboratory tests needed for accurate... J. Nze memiaghe, A. Cambouris, M. Duchemin, N. Ziadi, A. Karam |
