Map** and monitoring soil spatial variability is particularly problematic for temporally and
spatially dynamic properties such as soil salinity. The tools necessary to address this classic …

Fast and accurate assessment of within-field variation is essential for detecting field-wide
heterogeneity and contributing to improvements in the management of agricultural lands …

Precision agriculture is starting to play a key role in the new generation of modern
agricultural revolution. Farmers are increasingly aware of the importance of maintaining …

Spatial heterogeneity of crop growth within fields is rarely quantified but essential for
estimating yield and optimizing crop management. Relationships in fields between crop …

Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) is one of the key soil properties, but the large spatial variation
makes continuous map** a complex task. Imaging spectroscopy has proven to be an …

Reliable and high-resolution subsurface characterization beyond the field scale is of great
interest for precision agriculture and agro-ecological modelling because the shallow soil …

Global food security, as determined by the balance of global food production and demand in
the face of rapid increase in climate change effects, diseases and pests, has become a …

Apple replant disease (ARD) occurs when apple or a closely related species are replanted
at the same site leading to severe growth reduction and losses in fruit yield and quality. This …

Crop protection seldom takes into account soil heterogeneity at the field scale. Yet, variable
site characteristics affect the incidence of pests as well as the efficacy and fate of pesticides …

Hydro-pedotransfer functions (PTFs) relate easy-to-measure and readily available soil
information to soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) for applications in a wide range of process …
