peer reviewed / The main approach to protect grapes against diseases involves the use of plant protection products. Understanding the quantitative amount and the distribution of these products on the vines is essential to assess the effectiveness of spray equipment and to evaluate the relationship between dosage and response when targeting pathogen...

Small straw addition enhances straw decomposition and carbon stabilized in soil aggregates over time
peer reviewed / Straw return as a common and effective management can improve soil carbon (C) sequestration and structure by forming aggregates and aggregate associated C. Quantifying soil aggregation and aggregate associated C is key to predicting soil organic C dynamics using testable models. The relative quantity of C stabilized in soil aggregat...
How much do conservation cropping practices mitigate runoff and soil erosion under Western European conditions: A focus ...
peer reviewed / AbstractConservation farming practices are known for their capacity to mitigate runoff and erosion, but the magnitude of their effectiveness is highly variable across studies. In order to better understand the contribution of environmental and management factors to their effectiveness, up to 37 studies reporting 271 individual trial...
The Effect of Sample Grinding on Color-based Predictions of Soil Organic Carbon
Measurements of soil color are widely accessible and can be used as indirect measures of soil organic carbon (SOC). Sensor-based soil color measurements, frequently used in quantitative studies to predict SOC, often use ground and sieved soil samples for color analysis. However, it is unknown whether the extra steps of drying, crushing, and sieving...
Groundwater In Nebraska
What is groundwater? Groundwater is water that fills and moves between spaces in underground rocks, gravel, sand, or other materials.

Soil Nitrate Prediction Using FTIR-ATR, Vis-NIR, and Raman Spectroscopy
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with Attenuated total reflectance (ATR), Visible-Near Infrared spectroscopy (Vis-NIR), and Raman spectroscopy (RS) are non-destructive techniques for rapid determination of nitrogen compounds in soil. Leveraging FTIR-ATR and Vis-NIR spectra using partial least squares regression (PLSR) modelin...
