Production & Economic Benefits of Variable Rate Applications in Cropping Systems
Precision agriculture is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter- and intra-field variability in crops. In other words, it is an approach to managing soils and crops to reduce decision uncertainty through better understanding and management of spatial and temporal variability. It involves a range of management practices that attempt […]
Use of Reference Strips to Determine Nitrogen Fertilizer Requirements
Article by Wilma Trujillo In the late 1990’s, Oklahoma State University (OSU) developed a way to determine nitrogen (N) fertilizer requirements. The developed N management strategy addresses two conditions that greatly affect how much N fertilizer a crop will need for maximum yield: (a) variability within a field (spatial variability); and (b) year-to-year variability over […]
