1. Soil Electrical Conductivity Map Quality- Impact of Interpolation Search Neighborhood ParametersSpatial predictions of soil electrical conductivity (EC) measurements may be improved by adjusting the search neighborhood criteria. The objective of this study was to investigate how varying search parameters impacted the quality of soil EC maps. The three fields cl~osen for this study were from the Inner and Outer Blue Grass physiographic regions of Kentucky. Soil EC was measured by direct contact at all locations. The prediction datasets included EC measurements along transects that were separated... |
2. Quantifying Risk in Nitrogen Management through On-Farm EvaluationsThe process of nitrogen (N) management in corn (Zea mays L.) production is often reduced to finding ways to manage various risks. These risks include common difficulties of quantifying soil N availability, avoiding N fertilizer losses, and predicting the impact of weather before and after fertilizer applications. This poster provides a synopsis of several recent on-farm evaluation studies conducted across Iowa. These studies were designed and executed to identify management, soil, and weather factors... |
3. Soybean Production Research: A National ApproachU.S. soybean growers are looking for alternative methods to increase soybean yields and recent increases in commodity prices have given producers more freedom to invest in additional crop inputs or products. Unfortunately, quality data from studies addressing multiple contemporary inputs is scarce. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of combined soybean inputs on seed yield. These high input systems were tested in six states to evaluate their value across a broad geography.... |
