Section 2: Fertilization in Farming In the farming industry, about 12 million metric tons of nitrogen fertilizer is used each year [2], costing an estimated amount of $850 per ton [3]. Nitrogen is a crucial element used to help most crops thrive. ...
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 ...
The Natural Extracts Industries (NEI) has its headquarters at the picturesque foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro! You can smell the raw earth here, as fresh ingredients are processed using modern eco-friendly methods, creating flavours that are truly evocative of this land. Today these flavours are marketed across the world; and they are perfect for use in a range of delicious food and drink – ...
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) shocked the industry in October of 2017 when it made a record-setting upward revision to the harvest very late in the season; TellusLabs had been correctly forecasting the corn yield since August. This success highlighted TellusLabs’ belief and trust in the platform, not to mention the prospect that their technology could ...
They are absolutely critical for understanding plant or crop yield, environmental effects, the additions of certain chemicals and elements, and greater emphasis has been placed on root study that no longer instruments such as the minirhizotron simply in the domain of scientists, but they’re also being utilized by crop consultants, ...
Running the numbers To assess climate change’s impact on maize production, the researchers took a multimodel approach, working combinations of global climate model predictions into an open-source crop model that simulates crop yields over successive growing seasons. ...
Although warmer temperatures could increase yields in some regions, West says, temperature and rainfall changes alone could slash overall crop yields by an estimated 10 to 40 percent. ...

Spectral indices are useful for estimating crop yield potential and basing in-season N fertilizer applications. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is positively related to crop N status and leaf area index (LAI) under N limited conditions. However, under water limited conditions, variations in LAI may be driven by ...
This article discusses how accounting for the variation in crop yield potential due to season and soil type when formulating fertiliser rates can increase profit and reduce nutrient excesses. It shows that improved estimates of yield potential can increase gross margins by A$2–$20/ha over ‘farming-for-the-average’, with higher ...
Year to year variation in yield is an inherent risk associated with crop production and many growers rely on intensive mechanical or chemical inputs to preserve crop yield in the face of fluctuating environmental conditions. ...
