Integrative Precision Agriculture Resources

While site-specific soil sampling can improve field management, it must be accompanied by the conscientious collection and analysis of data. New technologies cannot offset poor data collection and soil-testing techniques. Inaccurate data on soil properties will inevitably lead to improper management decisions. This resource addresses three primary factors that can affect the precision management of soil fertility, and presents a step-by-step procedure on how to use variable yield goals to develop field maps showing variable application rates of fertilizers and lime.
