Development of on-the-go soil nitrogen mapping system for site specific management

Site specific management can potentially improve both economic and ecological outcomes in agriculture. Effective site specific management requires strong and temporally consistent relationship among identified management zones; underlying .soil physical, chemical and biological parameters, and crop...
