1. Spatial Variability of Soil Properties in Intensively Managed Tropical Grassland in BrazilFor the intensification of tropical grass pastures systems the soil fertility building up by liming and balanced fertilization is necessary. The knowledge of spatial variability soil properties is useful in the rational use of inputs, as in the variable rate application of lime and fertilizers. PA requires methods to indicate the spatial variability of soil and plant parameters. The objective of this work was to map and evaluate the soil properties and maps the site specific liming and fertilizer... G.M. Bettiol, R.Y. Inamasu, L.M. Rabello, A.C. Bernardi, M. Campana, P.P.

5. A Crop And Soil Strategy For Sensor-based Variable-rate Nitrogen ManagementCrop-based active canopy sensors and soil-based management zones (MZ) are currently being studied as tools to direct in-season variable-rate N application. Some have suggested the integration of these tools as a more robust decision tool for guiding spatially variable N rates. The objectives of this study were to identify (1) soil variables useful for MZ delineation and (2) determine if MZ could be useful in identifying field areas with... D.F. Roberts, J.F. Shanahan, R.B.

6. A Comparison Of Conventional And Sensor-based Lime Requirement MapsSuccessful variable-rate applications of agricultural inputs, such as lime, rely on quality of input data. Systematic soil sampling is... A.K. Jonjak, V.I. Adamchuk, C.S. Wortmann, C.A. Shapiro, R.B. Fergugson |
7. Analysis Of Water Use Efficiency Using On-the-go Soil Sensing And A Wireless NetworkAn efficient irrigation system should meet the demands of the growing crops. While limited water supply may result in yield reduction, excess irrigation is a waste of resources. To investigate water use efficiency, on-the-go sensing technology was used to reveal soil spatial variability relevant to water holding capacity (in this example, field elevation and apparent electrical conductivity). These high-density data layers were used to identify strategic sites where monitoring water availability... L. Pan, V.I. Adamchuk, D.L. Martin, M.A. Schroeder, R.B. Fergugson |
8. Adoption Level Of Precision Agriculture For Brazilian Farmers - 2011/12 Crop YearAlthough Precision Agriculture (PA) concepts and technologies are widespread in Brazil, its application still little used in some important crop production regions. The purpose of this study was to survey the current adoption level of PA by printed and online questionnaire. We started making a specific questionnaire to farmers and PA service companies using some technology related to PA. The questionnaires were developed based on the methodology of Whipker and Akridge (2009),... E. Borghi, A. Luchiari junior, L. Bortolon, E.S. Bortolon, R.Y. Inamasu, A.C. Bernardi, J.C. Avanzi |
9. Strategies For Scientific Communication Of Precision Agriculture In BrazilScientific knowledge popularization is the way to the society access technical scientific advances. The challenge is to increase the means, channels and processes of information and relationship with society and decode scientific issues into a format that makes knowledge accessible. The Embrapa Precision Agriculture Network has been used scientific communication strategies at the traditional and new media, as a way of approach with various stakeholders, contributing to the construction...

10. Precision Agriculture Use In Selected Agricultural Regions In BrazilInvestment in technology brought Brazil to the position among the top agricultural producers in the world. Brazilian agricultural production has increased drastically as a result of productivity growth instead expansion in area. In this scenario the use of Precision Agriculture (PA) in the farm management, considering the spatial variability for maximizing economic return and minimizing the risk of damage to the environment can be decisive. However, the adoption of PA by Brazilian... R.Y. Inamasu, A.C. Bernardi |
11. Development Of An Hydraulic Penetrometer Data Acquisition SoftwareCurrently , in addition to increased production , the costs reduction are focused in order to increase efficiency in production, so the modern agriculture intent to find planting methods which extract the maximum possible data about the used area for making possible to do this preparation in the most appropriate manner, considering the shortcomings of evaluating these data. This method is contained in the concepts of an agricultural practice that has been steadily growing, the... I. Marasca, D.P. Casiero, S.P. Guerra, K.P. Lanças, E.R. Spadim |
12. Spatial Dependence Of Soil Compaction In Annual Cycle Of Different Culture Of Cane Sugar For Sandy SoilThe Currently practiced mechanization for the production of sugar cane involves a heavy traffic of machinery and equipment. Studying the culture in its development environment generates a huge amount of information to fit the top managements and varieties for specific environments. The sugar cane cultivation has a heavy traffic of machinery and equipment, having more than 20 operations per cycle, and being more intense during harvest, providing increasing... I. Marasca, F.C.
