1. Visual Correlation of Aerial Imagery with Topography and Crop YieldA study is currently being conducted on several farms to evaluate the usefulness of aerial imagery of soil and of a growing crop to delineate within-field management zones for the purposes of site-specific management. Presented is information for one site in Kent county Ontario for which correlations between aerial images taken of the soil and of the growing crop with the spatial patterns of measured topography, soil texture, and corn yield were examined. Visual interpretation indicated a very good... |
2. Finding the “Sweet” Spot: Nitrogen Strategies for Variable Sugarbeet Harvest TimingsEarly sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) harvest is a new challenge facing the Michigan sugarbeet industry. Due to sugar processing capacity limitations, earlier sugarbeet harvest is necessary to ensure beet processing is complete by mid- to late-March. The early harvest time interval compounds the N application issue as a large percentage of applied N is utilized by the plant later in the growing season. Few data indicate how early or how late N can be applied and the subsequent effects on... K. Steinke, S. Fleming |
