Assessing utility of earth conductivity for applications of precision agriculture on EAA Histosols. Collaborators – Kingston, Luo, Shine, Rice Cost benefit analysis of land levelling for sugarcane production on sandland soils. Collaborators – Ezenwa, Kingston SUGARCANE AGRONOMYEarth conductivity and precision agriculture Objective Is bulk electrical cond. of muck a function of soil depth? Is soil depth related to properties that affect cane yield? eg. pH and sulfur application Commenced summer 2005 Initial results show good correlation of ECa with depth to ~3ft. Chemical data to be interpreted. SUGARCANE AGRONOMYCost benefit of land leveling Objective Determine yield response cost benefit of land leveling on sandland
