Axle-load impacts on hydraulic properties and corn yield in no-till clay and silt loam
Wheel traffic-induced compaction in no-till (NT) farming can alter soil hydraulic properties and reduce crop yields, but specific information on the impacts of different levels of axle loads on the relationships between soil hydraulic properties and crop yields under long-term NT systems is limited. Thus, this study set out to measure the differences in soil hydraulic properties including ...

Monitoring and forecasting soil moisture
Real-Time Technology Can Impact Decision Making On-Farm And Across Regional Landscapes. Soil moisture is not only important for crop production, input decisions and yield outcomes – it is an important determinant of runoff volume, flood risk and greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture soil, such as nitrous oxide (N2O). Advancements in moisture monitoring and forecasting, along with the ...

Long-term agronomic performance of organic and conventional field crops in the mid-atlantic region
Despite increasing interest in organic grain crop production, there is inadequate information regarding the performance of organically-produced grain crops in the United States, especially in Coastal Plain soils of the mid-Atlantic region. We report on corn (Zea mays L.), soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yields at the USDA-ARS Beltsville Farming Systems Project ...

Farmonaut For Crop Area and Yield Estimation
INTRODUCTION: CROP AREA ESTIMATION The two components of agricultural production estimation are crop area and yield estimation. In order to estimate yield, Producers generally measure the amount of a particular crop harvested in a sample area to estimate crop yield. The harvested crop is then weighed, and the entire crop production of the area is approximated from the sample. A method for ...
