1. Factors Influencing the Timing of Precision Agriculture Technology Adoption in Southern U.S. Cotton ProductionTechnology innovators in cotton production adopted precision agriculture (PA) technologies soon after they became commercially available, while others adopted these technologies in later years after evaluating the success of the innovators. The timing of... D.M. Lambert, J.A. Larson, B.C. English, R.M. Rejesus, M.C. Marra, A.K. Mishra, C. Wang, P. Watcharaanantapong, R.K. Roberts, M. Velandia |
2. The Adoption of Information Technologies and Subsequent Changes in Input Use in Cotton ProductionThe use of precision farming has become increasingly important in cotton production. It allows farmers to take advantage of knowledge about infield variability by applying expensive inputs at levels appropriate to crop needs. Essential to the success of the precision... N.M.

3. Modeling Soil Carbon Spatial Variation: Case Study In The Palouse RegionSoil organic carbon (Cs) levels in the soil profile reflect the transient state or equilibrium conditions determined by organic carbon inputs and outputs. In areas with strong topography, erosion, transport and deposition control de soil carbon balance and determine strong within-field differences in soil carbon. Carbon gains or losses are therefore difficult to predict for the average field. Total Cs ranged from 54 to 272 Mg C ha-1, with 42% (range 25 to 78%) of Cs in the top 0.3-m of the soil... A.R.

4. Cotton Precision Farming Adoption In The Southern United States: Findings From A 2009 SurveyThe objectives of this study were 1) to determine the status of precision farming technology adoption by cotton producers in 12 states and 2) to evaluate changes in cotton precision farming technology adoption between 2000 and 2008. A mail survey of cotton producers located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia was conducted in February and March of 2009 to establish the use of precision farming technologies...

5. Investigating Profile And Landscape Scale Variability In Soil Organic Carbon: Implications For Process-oriented Precision ManagementMitigation of rising greenhouse gases concentrations in the atmosphere has focused attention on agricultural soil organic C (SOC) sequestration. However, field scale knowledge of the processes and factors regulating SOC dynamics, distribution and variability is lacking. The objectives of this study are to characterize the profile... D.R.

6. Precision Conservation: Site-specific Trade-offs Of Harvesting Wheat Residues For Biofuel FeedstocksCrop residues are considered to be an important lignocellulosic feedstock for future biofuel production. Harvesting crop residues, however, could lead to serious soil degradation and loss of productivity. Our objective was to evaluate trade-offs associated with harvesting residues including impacts on soil quality, soil organic C and nutrient removal. We used cropping systems data collected at 369 geo-referenced points on the 37-ha Washington State... D.R. Huggins, |
7. Effect Of Nitrogen Application Rate On Soil Residual N And Cotton YieldA long-term study was conducted on nitrogen application rate and its impact on soil residual nitrogen and cotton (FM960B2RF) lint yield under a drip irrigation production system near Plainview, Texas. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with five nitrogen application rates (0, 56, 112, 168 and 224 kg per ha) and five replications. The soil nitrogen treatment was applied as side dressing. Cotton yield, leaf N, seed N, soil residual nitrate, amount of irrigation, and rainfall data... M. Parajulee, D. Neupane, C. Wang, S.
