Finding Trends in Soil Test Data Workshop Materials
Materials from the Data Analysis Workshop offered at the
6th International Conference on Precision Agriculture are
now available. Click below to download the materials for the
Finding Trends in Soil Test Data workshop. The
FindingTrends.zip file includes the step-by-step exercise
guide and the sample MS Excel files for completing the
exercises.
How do I...
The How do I... section gives short, to
the point instructions for site-specific management. It is divided into
three sections (see also process flow models below)
- Using site-specific data
- Making sense of yield data
- Doing on-farm comparisons
Process Flow Models
Process flow models provide a framework for organizing the training
materials of this project. The models will updated as needed based on the
needs assessment and feedback from users. Not all pieces of the models
will be developed through this project, rather, the model gives a
perspective of where training materials fit into the overall process of
site-specific management. Links will be provided to existing materials
that already cover certain topics in the model.
IFAFS Project Summary:
Increasing productivity and profitability of crop and soil management
systems should be the goal of all of agriculture. The goal of this
proposed project is to provide an improved outreach model to transfer
site-specific soil and crop research information to the end user. The
information management and outreach outlined in this proposal will guide
farmers and their input suppliers and advisers toward successful
implementation and management of site-specific systems. These improved
information tools support technically current, scientifically sound, and
environmentally responsible crop production systems. <more>
