Exploiting yield maps and soil management zones
Soil / 3785 / Published: 13 June 2012
The main aim of this project is to determine when it is cost-effective for farmers to use yield maps and management zones to guide soil management decisions. The work will devise protocols for the robust and efficient implementation of yield maps and management zones.
Platforms to test and demonstrate sustainable soil management: integration of major UK field experiments
Soil / 3786 / Published: 13 June 2012
This project will quantify soil properties using state-of-the-art approaches, coupled with an assessment of economic and environmental benefits.
Improvement of soil structure and crop yield by adding organic matter to soil
Soil / 3787 / Published: 13 June 2012
e main aim of this project is to find the minimum addition of external sources of organic matter, including making use of on-farm wastes such as straw, which brings about the maximum improvements in crop yield (grain and straw), and soil and environmental quality.
Site specific land management of cereal crops based on proximal soil sensing
Soil / 3728 / Published: 14 March 2012
The project aims at utilising the fusion of high resolution data gathered from a collection of sensors (innovative and commercially available) on soil and cereal crops (NDVI and yield), in order to understand and establish new concepts and methodologies of variable rate fertiliser applications.
New wheat root ideotypes for improved resource use efficiency and yield performance in reduced input agriculture.
Nutrition / 3575 / Published: 12 March 2012
The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of wheat root growth and morphology on the efficiency of nutrient uptake and hence yield and to explore how this interacts with selected environmental and agronomic parameters. We will assess the level of genetic variation for root development in a range of wheat genotypes in controlled environments and assess the performance of a sub-set of lines with contrasting root characters under field conditions. Interactions with mycorrhizal and pathogenic fungi and the effect of seed coat agrochemical applications will also be assessed. For future exploitation development of a mapping population and pre-breeding of improved lines using elite and more diverse germplasm sources will be initiated.
