1. Nugis: The Development Of A Nutrient Use Geographic Information SystemNuGIS is a project of the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI). The goal was to examine sources of nutrients (fertilizers and manure) and compare this to crop removal. The project used GIS and database analysis to create maps at the state and county level and then used GIS to migrate the budget analysis to the local watershed and regional watershed levels. This paper will cover the sources of data used, how the data was processed to generate county level numbers, and how GIS was used... Q. Rund, R. Williams |
2. Monitoring Dairy Cow Activity With GPS-tracking And Supporting TechnologiesNutrient loss from dairy farms is an issue of serious concern to most dairy farmers around the world. On grazed systems such as those practiced in New Zealand animal excreta has been identified as a major source of nutrient loss, which for nitrogen (N) relates to cattle urine in particular. A study was commissioned to examine nutrient transfer around dairy farms associated with the cows with a view to developing improved precision nutrient application... I. Draganova, I.J. Yule, K.

3. North American Soil Test SummaryWith the assistance and cooperation of numerous private and public soil testing laboratories, the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) periodically summarizes soil test levels in North America (NA). Soil tests indicate the relative capacity of soil to provide nutrients to plants. Therefore, this summary can be viewed as an indicator of the nutrient supplying capacity or fertility of soils in NA. This is the eleventh summary completed by IPNI or its predecessor, the Potash &... Q. Rund, S. Murrell, A. Erbe, R. Williams, E. Williams |
