The delineation of site-specific management zones is a crucial and challenging task in precision agriculture due to many factors including climate, topography, and soil properties. It aims to divide a field into homogenous subfields where agronomists can apply optimal variable-rate fertilizers to have high-quality crops with minimum budget
Our team has developed sophisticated classification methods that use remotely-sensed satellite imagery as well as certain elevation derived products to delineate unsupervised management zones
Some of our members have also helped FarmersEdge Inc in a project that aims to find an optimal blend of fertilizers for management zones. They have successfully delivered a fertilizer calculator software that helps agronomists to apply an optimal blend of fertilizers, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur
