1. Net Returns and Production Use Efficiency for Optical Sensing and Variable Rate Nitrogen Technologies in Cotton ProductionThis research evaluated the profitability and N use efficiency of real time on-the-go optical sensing measurements (OPM) and variable-rate technologies (VRT) to manage spatial variability in cotton production in the Mississippi River Basin states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee. Two forms of OPM and VRT and the existing farmer practice (FP) were used to determine N fertilizer rates applied to cotton on farm fields in the four states. Changes in yields and N rates due to OPM... J.A. Larson, M. Stefanini, D.M. Lambert, X. Yin, C.N. Boyer, J.J. Varco, P.C. Scharf , B.S. Tubaña, D. Dunn, H.J. Savoy, M.J. Buschermohle, D.D. Tyler |
2. Economic Assessment of Soil Sampling Densities for Variable-Rate Fertilizer PrescriptionSoil sampling and laboratory analysis represent a substantial share of operational costs in precision agriculture, making sampling density a crucial management parameter. Sampling density defines the resolution at which soil spatial variability is captured and directly influences the accuracy of spatial interpolation and fertilizer prescription maps. Due to high operational costs, reduced sampling densities are commonly adopted in practice, despite their known effects on map quality. This study... L. Delgado Bejarano, B. , A.
