Research projects

Variable nitrogen rate map from NUE field analysis

Enhancing Nutrient Use Efficiency for Sustainable Agriculture

Real-world challenges in improving nutrient use efficiency, and statistical models for quantifying nitrogen responsiveness (Chapter 2).

Management zones map from soil fertility geostatistics

Comparative Assessment of Soil Fertility Parameters Using Geostatistical Approaches

Comparing multiple linear regression with ordinary kriging, cokriging, and regression kriging for mapping soil fertility, and what that means for sampling design (Chapter 3).
