Sustainable fertilization techniques are essential in Mediterranean farming systems, where the depletion of organic matter, influencing soil water and nutrient availability, is becoming an increasing concern. In this context, fertilizers offer effective strategy to restore fertility while reducing environmental impacts. This research aimed evaluate effects different on quality tree performance a sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) orchard. study was conducted two growing seasons (2021–2022)...
Knowledge of the spatial distribution soil organic carbon (SOC) is crucial importance for improving crop productivity and assessing effect agronomic management strategies on response quality. Incorporating secondary variables correlated to SOC allows using information often available at finer resolution, such as proximal remote sensing data, prediction accuracy. In this study, two nonstationary interpolation methods were used predict SOC, namely, regression kriging (RK) multivariate adaptive...
Successful implementation of site-specific irrigation requires an understanding within-field-variability soil parameters. These parameters can be estimated by direct sampling or indirect surveying using geophysical data. The outputs are quite sensitive to water content; therefore, they used as covariates in content (SWC) estimation. objectives this study were use and data auxiliary variables the estimation through geostatistical techniques. surveys carried out a test site at agricultural...
Abstract An important attribute for soil use is clay content, because it affects the water-holding capacity and hydraulic properties of a soil. Soil surveys are time-consuming, labour-intensive costly, while geophysical methods, such as Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), offer non-invasive non-destructive approach to mapping features. The objective this paper assess spatial relationship between content data. EMI GPR data cores were collected analysed in field...
The aim of this study was to determine the impact agro-ecological practices on soil losses, by assessing experimental field topography changes and cauliflower crop yield after an artificial extreme rainfall event. Data were collected in innovative device which different combined agronomic strategies tested such as hydraulic arrangement, rotations service crops (ASC) introduction. collection elevation data carried out kinematic way before rainfall, punctual surveys evaluate effects event...
The development and implementation of both economically environmentally sustainable precision crop management systems can be greatly enhanced through the use hyperspectral sensing. In this study, potential narrow‐waveband observations for discrimination water‐stressed tomato plants ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) was investigated in a field experiment conducted southern Italy. grown 1.8‐ha test that split into two plots with different irrigation treatments: optimal deficit water supplies, supply...
Agro-ecozoning is a delineation of landscape into relatively homogeneous regions expected similar crop performance. Past classifications have been subjective, specific and did not take account spatial correlation. A quantitative approach proposed to unambiguously locate, characterise visualise agro-ecozones their boundaries which can be allied different environmental conditions. In this study the parameters, including climatic soil characteristics, hypothesized generally relevant many crops...
Over the last few years high-resolution geophysical techniques, in particular ground-penetrating radar (GPR), have been used agricultural applications for assessing soil water content variation a non-invasive way. However, wide use of GPR is greatly limited by data processing complexity. In this paper, quantitative analysis proposed. The were collected with 250, 600 and 1600 MHz antennas gravelly located south-eastern Italy. objectives were: (1) to investigate impact on signals; (2) select...
A growing interest in proximal sensing technologies for estimating soil water content (SWC) will be highlighted. On this matter the objectives of study were: (1) to use both combined electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensor and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) characterize an innovative field experiment located southern Italy, which different agricultural practices are tested, including a hydraulic arrangement; (2) implement geostatistical approach order merge geophysical data as auxiliary...
