Plant tissue testing offers farmers and consultants valuable insight into crop nutrient status and helps diagnose field issues when properly conducted. We explain the science behind tissue testing and share practical tips for getting actionable results.
• Tissue testing can help to evaluate nutrient status to understand crop health at various growth stages
• Troubleshoot field issues by comparing samples from healthy and problematic areas
• It is important to sample the correct plant part according to the crop's growth stage
• Mobile nutrients show deficiency in lower leaves while immobile nutrients affect upper leaves first
• Remember to remove soil contamination from samples, especially when checking iron levels
• Tissue tests can help to identify the problem while soil tests help determine corrective actions
• Have a specific goal in mind before collecting tissue samples
• Take both tissue and soil samples when diagnosing nutrient deficiencies

We continue our conversation this week with precision ag geek Shawn Kasprick of Simplot. Shawn shares how precision agriculture capabilities have evolved from floppy disks to satellite imagery, letting farmers see their operations all the way through from farm to field application. Some topics we cover in this episode: • Adapting precision agriculture for orchards with specialized equipment that applies fertilizer between rows • Creating variable rate soil-applied herbicide maps based on soil property levels • Using satellite imagery to identify wild oat patches before soybean emergence for targeted herbicide applications for subsequent wheat crops • Developing variable rate fungicide applications for white mold management using crop density data • Combining multiple data sources with AI to potentially identify specific pests in the future • The importance of ground-truthing remote-sensed data to verify what's actually happening • Ensuring technology enhances decision-making rather than just collecting data Ask your agronomist or consultant about creative ways you could use precision agriculture on your farm. The technology is there—you just need to connect it with good agronomy.…

Field boundaries serve as the digital cookie cutters of precision agriculture, defining where field operations begin and end for optimal resource management. Understanding their purpose and creation methods allows consultants and growers to implement more precise applications and better predict input needs. • Boundaries determine where equipment turns on and off during field operations • Accurate boundaries help predict input requirements and prevent waste • Vector files (typically shape files) define the digital representation of field boundaries • Water management requires different boundary considerations than nutrient management • Creating boundaries can be done through driven collection with RTK-enabled vehicles • Drawing boundaries in GIS software requires well georeferenced backgrounds like NAIP imagery • Common Land Units (CLUs) provide a starting point but often lack precision • Moving vertices allows for refinement of boundary polygons • Accurate boundaries serve as the foundation for all precision agriculture mapping Connect with GK Technology for all your precision agriculture needs - we have a map and an app for that! https://gktechinc.com/…

4. Gridding the Zone with Ag Genesis Part 2 31:29

12 weeks پیش31:29

31:29

Kurt Turner and Lane Bothwell from Ag Genesis share their innovative "gridding the zone" approach that combines traditional zone mapping with targeted grid sampling to address pH variability in eastern South Dakota fields. They've discovered that their most productive field zones often hide significant pH problems that can be economically addressed through this hybrid sampling method. • Field topography in Eastern South Dakota creates extreme yield variability (corn yields ranging 100-240 bushels per acre) • Traditional zone sampling works well for most nutrient management in their variable landscape • Low pH problems tend cluster in high-productivity zones, not poor-performing areas as might be expected (this is not always the case, check your soil test results!) • Selective grid sampling within problematic zones can reduce sampling points by 60-70% compared to whole-field gridding • Lime application becomes more economical when precisely targeted to actual problem areas • Cost savings benefit both the service provider (fewer samples to collect) and the farmer (less lime needed) • Limited lime sources in the Dakotas make efficient application especially important • pH improvements are visible within 2-4 years of targeted lime application If you're interested in learning more about Ag Genesis, check out our previous episode where we dive deeper into their business model and precision ag philosophy.…
