1. Assessment Of Physiological Effects Of Fungicides In WheatThe use of fungicides is one of the most widespread methods implemented in intensive crop production focused in solving phytosanitary problems. The use of fungicides belonging to groups such as strobilurins has been associated with positive physiological effects such as increased tolerance against abiotic stresses, changes in plant growth regulator activities and delayed leaf senescence. The use of thermography is a non- destructive method which permits to distinguish physiological changes caused... C. Berdugo, U. Steiner, E. Oerke, H. Dehne |
2. Spatial And Vertical Distribution Of Soil P, K, And Mg Content In A Vineyard Of The Do Ca Rioja Using Grid And Target Sampling MethodsKnowledge of spatial variability of soil nutrient contents is very important to design a fertilization strategy based on the needs of the vine. Matching fertilization and nutritional plant needs is very important due to the influence of nutritional status of vineyards on productive and qualitative factors. The aim of this work was to study the spatial and vertical variability of P, K and Mg in a vineyard soil by two methods: (i) the grid sampling at three depth ranges (0-30,... O. Unamunzaga, A.

3. Field Sampling and Electrochemical Detection of Nitrate in Agricultural SoilsNitrate is an essential plant nutrient and is added to farm fields to increase crop yields. While the addition of nitrate is important for production, over-fertilization with nitrate can lead to leaching and contamination of water bodies. Increased nitrate loading in water sources then leads to eutrophication and hypoxia in downstream regions. Many efforts are being made to accurately control nitrate fertilizer additions to fields. Here, we present a soil sampling device that directly samples... J. Brockgreitens, M. Bui, A. Abbas, D. Mulla |
4. Tracking Two Decades of Precision Agriculture Through the Croplife Purdue SurveyThe CropLife/Purdue University precision dealer survey is the longest-running continuous survey of precision farming adoption. The 2017 survey is the 18th, conducted every year from 1997 to 2009, and then every other year following. For individuals working in agriculture there is great value in knowing who is doing what and why, to get a better understanding of the utilities and applications, and to guide investments. A major revision in survey questions was made... B. Erickson, J. Lowenberg-deboer, J. Bradford |
