Leggett and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil pH has been declining in northern Idaho, primarily due to the consistent use of ammonium-based nitrogen fertilizers. The major yield reducing factor in low pH soils is increased aluminum (Al) toxicity. Research is needed to determine the rates of lime needed to ameliorate the acidic soil and the economic rate of return for those rates. Studies were conducted in the greenhouse and field to explore the response of Rhizoctonia oryzae, R. solani AG-8, and Fusarium culmorum to increases in soil pH with liming. Results indicate that incidence and severity of Rhizoctonia root rot and Fusarium crown rot is likely to increase when soil pH increases with liming and that a soil pH value of 6 is optimal for these pathogens. A second component of the research was to establish long-term field studies in northern Idaho to explore the effect of three liming rates (2,242; 4,484; and 6726 kg ha-1) on ameliorating soil pH and examine the economic feasibility of these treatments. Trials were conducted at five locations for 2 years and all three lime rates significantly increased soil pH in the top 7.5 cm at all sites, with some sites experiencing increases in the 7.5 to 15 cm range. The increased pH was associated with significantly increased base saturation and reduced Al concentrations at all sites as well. Yields were increased with increasing rates of lime at many of the sites. Net present value was used to amortize the cost of liming over multiple years. Based on the data from this study, there was an economic benefit to liming in five of the seven site-years, with an average of $21, $26 and $39 ha-1 net returns for the 2,242; 4,484 and 6,726 kg ha-1 lime rates, respectively. Preliminary data suggests that lime application in soils with documented acidification may be economically beneficial for growers in northern Idaho.

Download or read book Proximal Soil Sensing written by Raphael A. Viscarra Rossel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-25 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports on developments in Proximal Soil Sensing (PSS) and high resolution digital soil mapping. PSS has become a multidisciplinary area of study that aims to develop field-based techniques for collecting information on the soil from close by, or within, the soil. Amongst others, PSS involves the use of optical, geophysical, electrochemical, mathematical and statistical methods. This volume, suitable for undergraduate course material and postgraduate research, brings together ideas and examples from those developing and using proximal sensors and high resolution digital soil maps for applications such as precision agriculture, soil contamination, archaeology, peri-urban design and high land-value applications, where there is a particular need for high spatial resolution information. The book in particular covers soil sensor sampling, proximal soil sensor development and use, sensor calibrations, prediction methods for large data sets, applications of proximal soil sensing, and high-resolution digital soil mapping. Key themes: soil sensor sampling – soil sensor calibrations – spatial prediction methods – reflectance spectroscopy – electromagnetic induction and electrical resistivity – radar and gamma radiometrics – multi-sensor platforms – high resolution digital soil mapping - applications Raphael A.
