Analyzing the Use of Publicly Available Multispectral Imagery to Guide the Creation of Soil Sampling Schemes
(2020-02-26)
As site-specific nutrient management has grown in popularity, the need for accurate soil fertility data has increased. Unfortunately, the cost of detailed soil sampling has prohibited many farmers and consultants from ...
Influence of Cover Crop Mixtures on Soil Health and Weed Control in Cotton Production Systems
(2020-03-06)
The restoration of soil health is a crucial step in maximizing productivity in the
historically-eroded Ultisols of the Southeast. The utilization of winter cover crops can
potentially improve soil health by increasing ...
Data-Driven Agroclimate Modeling and Forecasting Based on Earth Observations and Predictions: A Study of Evapotranspiration, Precipitation, and Crop Yields
(2020-04-17)
Meeting the growing food demand in a sustainable manner is the main challenge faced by agriculture, at a time when the climate changes increasingly threaten food security. Innovative agro-climate approaches are needed to ...

(2020-05-14)
A series of greenhouse, field, and laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate preemergence (PRE) and postemergence (POST) herbicides for Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri L.) control in addition to assess the ...
Investigating Soil Parameters Effect on Crop Yields and Hydrology at Field Scale in the Southeast US Using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool
(2020-05-20)
Over the past forty years, the Apalachicola–Chattahoochee–Flint (ACF) river basin in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida has been the subject of numerous litigation and research regarding water allocation. The state of Georgia’s ...
Comparison of Poultry Litter and Commercial Fertilizer Rate and Application Timing on Environmental Nitrogen Loss, Corn Grain Yield, and Mineral Composition
(2020-07-30)
For efficient use of poultry litter (PL) as a nutrient source, it is critical to balance the amount of nitrogen (N) needed to maximize corn (Zea Mays L.) grain yield while reducing N loss to the environment. Besides, there ...
Assessment of Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) Varieties for Yield and Curcumin Content
(2020-07-28)
Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. Currently, more than 80% of turmeric is produced by India and turmeric products are exported to numerous ...
Assessing Zeolite Amended Bioretention Media for Removal of Nutrients and Metals from Stormwater
(2020-08-07)
Bioretention cells are installed to treat stormwater through physical, biological, and chemical processes facilitated by a permeable soil media. The soil media is commonly composed of sand, silt, clay, and organic matter, ...
Impacts of Winter Grazing on Soil Health in Southeastern Cropping Systems
(2020-11-16)
Coastal Plain soils are often characterized by low soil organic carbon as a result of historically intense row cropping practices, highly weathered soils, and the humid climate of the region which often breaks down organic ...
Cover Crop Effects on Insect Dynamics in Cropping Systems of the Southeastern U.S.
(2020-11-16)
Evidence suggests winter cover crops could be useful for augmenting conservation biological control of insect pests in southeastern row crop systems. Management decisions such as selection of cover crop species and irrigation ...
