PATICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT OF ECOLOGICAL STATE-AND-TRANSITION MODELS: INTERGRATING SCIENTIFIC AND LOCAL KNOWLEDGE FOR RANGELAND SUSTAINABILITY
Colorado State University     |     CO     |     2006
This project will use an innovative participatory stakeholder process to develop and compare the accuracy and utility of state-and-transition (S-T) models of vegetation change that are derived from different knowledge sources (e.g. professional, local, and scientific knowledge) and both qualitative and quantitative model development procedures. Develop an outreach module and handbook describing the development and use of the S-T models.
The effect of the use of a traveling sprinkler and a polyacrylamide-zeolite blend on onion strands, yields, quality and returns and movement of nitrates, SALTS AND SELENIUM IN THE SOIL UNDER A SUB-SURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Colorado State University     |     CO     |     2006
The ultimate objective of this project was to improve yield, quality and returns of onions being grown on sub-surface drip irrigation (SDI) systems. This project determined the effect of sprinkling on germination and emergence of seeded onions with and without AgriBlend (HYDROGEL and Zeolite) and the effect that improved germination and emergence has on the yield, quality and returns from these onions.
VALIDATION AND DEMONSTRATION OF THE COLORADO AGRICULTURAL METEOROLOGICAL NETWORK – COAGMET FOR IMPROVED Irrigation AND PEST MANAGEMENT
Colorado State University     |     CO     |     2006
The project Conducted a validation and demonstration project in the Arkansas Valley to improve and promote the utility of Colorado Agricultural Meteorological Network (CoAgMet) weather data products among irrigating farmers in this region.
An Assessment Tool for California's Naval Orange Industry: Implementation Phase
CRDA dba Protected Harvest     |     CA     |     2006
Enrolled producers in Protected Harvest program to cause market differentiation that will encourage new and innovative conservation approach to producing Naval Oranges.
Farm Water and Energy Conservation: Coupling Conservation Tillage with Overhead, Low-pressure irrigation Systems
Dept of Plant Sciences UC Regents     |     CA     |     2006
Determine the profitability and water use efficiencies and air quality improvements of diverse and intensive no-till crop rotations under low-pressure overhead irrigation in the San Joaquin valley, relative to today's systems, extend findings through California.
Intergrated Incentive Market Based Approach to Wildlife Conservation
Ducks Unlimited     |     ND     |     2006
Improve waterfowl nesting with winter cerial crops
Nutrient Zone Determinations Using on-the-go Protein Monitors and on-the-go NDVI Monitors
EPIC Partners     |     MT     |     2006
We have established nutrient management areas on our farms using various techniques, such as soil conductivity, yields, and topography. We have also determined soil test locations within those zones. We intend to monitor N content of crops near those soil test locations using SPAD, on-the-go NDVI and airborne imagery that is calibrated in a way that we can compare vegetative quantity and health temporally. Then the crop will be harvested using both yield and the new protein monitors and a spatial nitrogen removal calculation will be performed and used to improve soil management zones. The calculated N removal will then be compared against earlier NDVI and SPAD data to find how early we can determine N deficient areas in an effort to add N during the growing season, if conditions warrant. Splitting application of nitrogen is common practice in some other crops and regions of the country, but not used much in the northern Great Plains, but using new transducers and GIS software, we may be able to do so in small grains.
Food Alliance Certification: Market Incentives for Conservation in Californi
Food Alliance     |     CA     |     2006
Increasing awareness among agriculture producers in California of markets socially and environmentally responsible food products, increasing producer understanding of the value of certification in product differentiation, market diversification, and brand enhancement, document conservation benefits accrued under the Food Alliance certification.
Spatial Nitrogen Management
Helena Agronomic Center     |     OH     |     2006
The project Reduced soil applied N without reducing yields using geospatial technology.
Spent Mushroom Compost Bailing for Various Transportation Methods
Kaolin Mushrooms Farms, Inc.     |     PA     |     2006
This project Demonstrated a technology to compress spent mushroom susbstrate into bales/cubes to facilitate transportation for land application outside of the farm or area. This will alliviate the problem with storage and odor issues.
