1. Variable Seeding Rate to Manage Within-field Variability

Within-field variability can strongly influence final crop yield and the efficiency of agricultural inputs such as seeds, fertilizer, water, and agrochemicals, thus managing spatial variability through precision agriculture to optimize input use and improve sustainability can yield significant gains, provided that the mechanisms driving field variability are understood. Despite extensive research on the relationship between seeding density and yield, relatively little attention has been given... B. Maestrini, L.P. Pott, D. Bamberg, T. Liska, T. Rosado, L. Sander, T.
