The International Plant Nutrition Institute discusses how variable-rate applications of phosphorus can help growers address problems with spatial variability with the nutrient in farm fields.
What’s good for crops is not always good for the environment. Nitrogen, a key nutrient for plants, can cause problems when it leaches into water supplies.
While no-tillers are being more conservative with machinery, seed and fertilizer purchases during the ag economy downturn, precision technology is one area where they’re increasing their investment.
Strip-tillers often cite targeted fertilizer placement as a key benefit of the practice, to ensure that plant roots can access nutrients throughout the growing season. But the 3rd Annual Strip-Till Operational Benchmark Study revealed some interesting changes in what type of fertilizer strip-tillers are applying and how.
My dad gets the credit for taking the initial steps of reducing tillage on our farm, but I can probably take some credit for pushing us into a full no-till system. And I do mean system, because no-till is just the tiny tip of the very large iceberg that is our farm management strategy today.
Precision agriculture has many benefits, but the results are only as good as the data provided. Yield monitors and GPS receivers can reveal much about a field's performance at harvest time
By simplifying some of the certification restrictions, the new Part 107 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) regulations will expand drone technology use for agriculture and other commercial purposes.
The Federal Aviation Administration has finalized the first operational rules for routine commercial use of small unmanned aircraft systems, opening pathways towards fully integrating UAS into the nation's airspace.
When it comes to making decisions around selecting a data service(s), understanding “Terms and Definitions” becomes an important component of the decision.
The nitrogen rate within a particular field for corn, wheat or sunflower is important, but nitrogen rate isn't related to yield over different sites, according to a soil specialist at North Dakota State University Extension.
