1. Mapping Soil Salinity Using Cokriging Method In Arsanjan Plain, Southern IranSalt-affected landscapes are highly sensitive to changes in climatic, edaphic and hydrological conditions in time and space in semi-arid regions such as Arsanjan plain, southern Iran. The objective of this study was to combine digital satellite data with ground based measurements of ECe by cokriging method to possibility improve the soil salinity maps of study area. Soil samples in the 85 sampling site (10187 ha)were collected from 0-30 cm depths, georefrenced using GPS receiver,... M.P. Baghernejad, M.M. Emadi |
2. Spatial Variability Of Important Soil Characteristics In Semiarid Ecosystems, A Case Study In Arsanjan Plain, Southern IranTimely information on the content and distribution of key soil nutrients in highly calcareous ecosystems is vital to support precision agriculture. Efficient tools to measure within-field spatial variation in soil are important when establishing agricultural field trials and in precision farming. Therefore, soil samples were collected at 0-30 cm depth in highly calcareous soils (Arsanjan plain) and chemically analyzed for nitrate (NO3-), electrical... M.P. Baghernejad, M.M. Emadi |
3. On-Farm Trials Using Precision Ag in Northeast LouisianaThe availability of yield monitors and precision application equipment on producers’ farms have made it much easier for researchers to take the results from experiment station trials and apply them to producers’ fields. Treatments/methods are applied in strips, by prescription, embedded plots or in combination. Fields are divided into zones for analyzing the harvest yield data. These can include soil type, soil Ec, or other criteria. Treatments are analyzed... D. Burns, D. Overstreet, D. Kruse, R. Frazier, D. Blanche |
4. Comparison Of Calibration Models Developed For A Visible-Near Infrared Real-Time Soil SensorThe visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) based real-time soil sensor (RTSS) is found to be a great tool for determining distribution of various soil properties for precision agriculture purposes. However, the developed calibration models applied on the collected spectra for prediction of soil properties were site-specific (local). This is found to be less practical since the RTSS needs to be calibrated separately for every field. General calibration approach is expected to minimize... S. Shibusawa, M. Kodaira, I. Kana, S.N.

5. Mapping Surface Soil Properties Using Terrain and Remotely Sensed Data in Arsanjan Plain, Southern IranSustainable land management and land use planning require reliable information about the spatial distribution of the physical and chemical soil properties affecting both landscape processes and services. Spatial prediction with the presence of spatially dense ancillary variables has attracted research in pedometrics. The main objective of this research is to enhance prediction of soil properties such electrical conductivity (ECe), exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), available phosphorus (P),... M.

6. A New Approach for Quantitative Land Suitability Evaluation Using Geostatistics, Remote Sensing (Rs) and Geographic Information System (Gis)The objective of this study was to incorporate geostatistics, remote sensing and geographic information system methods due to improving the quantitative land suitability assessment in Arsanjan plain, southern Iran. The primary data was collected from 85 soil samples from tree depths (030, 3060 and 6090 cm) and the secondary information from remotely sensed data “LISSIII receiver from IRSP6 satellite”. In order to identify the spatial dependence of soil important... M. Baghernejad, M. Emadi |
7. Soil Moisture Variability on Golf Course Fairways Across the United States: an Opportunity for Water Conservation with Precision IrrigationFairways account for an average of 11.3 irrigated hectares on each of the 15,000+ golf courses in the US. Annual median water use per hectare on fairways is between ~2,800,000 and 14,000,000 liters, depending on the region. Conventional fairway irrigation relies on visual observation of the turfgrass, followed by secondary considerations of short-term weather forecasts, which oftentimes lead to “blanket” applications to the entire area. The concept of precision irrigation is a strategy... C. Straw, C. Bolton, J. Young, R. Hejl, J. Friell, E. Watkins |
