Thursday, May 20, 2010. Growing Degree Days and their use in Agriculture. As the growing season continues to move forward it is now time to start looking at some of the data that will be important when planning in-season activities. One of the data sets that all growers watch is Growing Degree Days (GDD), aka Heat Units. There are many uses outside of Agriculture for Heat Units, but we are going to focus on their use in farming. Seed companies publish the maturity times of their hybrids but a few base th...

Friday, June 4, 2010. Nitrogen and Phosphorous BMP's. Now that you have created a Nutrient Management Plan. Plan) for your farm let's take a quick look at some Best Management Practices (BMP's) for applying Nitrogen (N) an Phosphorous (P). Applying N when the crop needs it provides yield, economical, and environmental benefits, so in-season application timing is important. The yield benefit is realized by having the right amount of N available for the crop at critical growth stages. P, in contrast to N d...

Schedules - Irrigation Scheduler
http://irrigation.zedxinc.com/schedules.php
Irrigation Schedule is based on the "water budget" method. In its simplest form, the water budget adds precipitation and subtracts soil evaporation and crop transpiration to compute the daily available water in the soil. The combined soil evaporation and crop transpiration are commonly referred to as "evapotranspiration.". In each crop schedule, the weather, soil, and irrigation variables are presented as absolute values. The decreasing or increasing available water, in inches, can be tracked relativ...

Standard and User Schedule. The Standard Schedule specifies irrigation amounts based off of projected precipitation events. The User Schedule also specifies irrigation amounts based off of projected precipitation events or imputed station data and can be adjusted for User specified irrigation and precipitation events. In the "Based on FORECAST:" section, the predicted precipitation and open water evaporation are forecasts, which will differ from observations. The effective precipitation (EPR) and the...
