1. Spatial Variability Of Spikelet Sterility In Temperate Rice In ChileSpikelet sterility (blanking) causes large economic losses to rice farmers in Chile. The most common varieties are susceptible to low air and water temperatures during pollen formation and flowering, which is the main responsible for the large year to year variation observed in terms of blanking and, therefore, of grain yield. The present work had for objective to study the spatial variability of spikelet sterility within two rice fields, during two consecutive seasons, and relate it to water... R.A. Ortega, D.E.

2. A Comprehensive Model for Farmland Quality Evaluation with Multi-source Spatial InformationFarmland quality represents various properties, including two parts of natural influencing factors and social influencing factors. The natural factors and social factors are interrelated and interaction, which determine the developing direction of farmland system. In order to overcome the limitation of subjective factors and fuzzy incompatible information, a more scientific evaluation method of farmland quality should be developed to reflect the essential characteristic of farmland....

3. Compensating for Soil Moisture Effects in Estimation of Soil Properties by Electrical Conductivity SensingBulk apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) is the most widely used soil sensing modality in precision agriculture. Soil ECa relates to multiple soil properties, including clay content (i.e., texture) and salt content (i.e., salinity). However, calibrations of ECa to soil properties are not temporally stable, due in large part to soil moisture differences between measurement dates. Therefore, the objective of this research was to investigate the effects of temporal soil moisture variations... K.A. Sudduth, N.R. Kitchen, E.D. Vories, S.T. Drummond |
