1. Site-specific Nematode Management For Potatoes In Idaho Using 1,3-dichloropropene; Experiences And EconomicsFumigation for nematode management in irrigated potato production systems of Idaho is widely practiced. Spatially uniform fumigation with large scale soil injection equipment is the traditional application method for Telone II. Plant-parasitic nematode species exhibit spatially variable population densities that provide an opportunity to practice site-specific fumigation to reduce chemical usage and production costs. Over the past 3 years 1200 ha of potato production has been site-specific fumigated... B.A. King, J.P. Taberna, Jr. |
2. Implementation of a CAN Bus System to Monitor Hydroponic SystemsControlled Area Network (CAN) bus systems designed for greenhouse monitoring have been proposed to measure soil moisture content, yet they are still absent from hydroponic systems. In this study, irrigation control, monitoring of substrate moisture levels and temperature were achieved using a CAN bus system connected to hydroponic beds. In total, five nodes were mounted on five hydroponic beds and two irrigation methods were compared on lettuce and kale: first, where a pre-set timer activated... P. Tikasz, R.M. Buelvas, M.
