1. Spot- Application of Pre-Emergence Herbicide Using a Variable Rate Sprayer in Wild BlueberryWild blueberry producers apply herbicides uniformly to control grasses and weeds without considering the significant weed density variability and bare spots within fields. The repeated and excessive use of herbicides... Q. Zaman, Y. Chang, A. Farooque, A. Schumann, D. Percival, M. Cheema, T. Esau |
2. Accurately Mapping Soil Profiles: Sensor Probe Measurements at Dense Spatial ScalesProximal sensing of soil properties has typically been accomplished using various sensor platforms deployed in a continuous sensing mode collecting data along transects, typically spaced 10-20 meters apart. This type of sensing can provide detailed maps of the X-Y soil variability and some sensors provide an indication of soil properties within the profile, however without additional investigations the profile is not delineated precisely. Alternatively, soil sensor probes can provide detailed... T. Lund, E. Lund, C.R. Maxton |
3. Using Soil Samples and Soil Sensors to Improve Soil Nutrient EstimationsEstimating soil nutrient levels, especially immobile nutrients like P and K, has been a primary activity for providers of precision agriculture services. Soil nutrients often vary widely within fields and growers have been eager to manage them site-specifically. There are many causes of the variability, including pedogenic factors such as soil texture, organic matter, landscape position and other factors that have resulted in an accumulation of unused nutrients in some areas of the...
