Nitrogen Management and Crop Sensors - Grower Survey, Idaho

This document summarizes a survey of Idaho farmers on their adoption of crop sensors for nitrogen management. Key findings include: - Only 5.3% of farmers currently use crop sensors, with most relying on field records and working with advisors. - While over half are aware of precision agriculture research and crop sensors, adoption remains low, influenced by farm size, age, and occupation. - Nitrogen fertilizer is the most costly input for 52.6% of farmers, yet fields exhibit variability that current nitrogen management practices do not address. Crop sensors could help optimize nitrogen application spatially and temporally. - There is opportunity for University Extension to better support adoption through outreach to advisors and research on sensors

Soil moisture, nutrients, and weeds in no till

This document discusses the benefits of no-till farming for soil moisture, nutrients, and weed control. It begins with an overview of the history of tillage and the dust bowl era that drove adoption of conservation tillage. No-till farming maintains soil moisture by leaving crop residue to reduce evaporation and erosion. It also builds soil organic matter and nutrients over time by keeping roots and residues in the soil. While no-till increases dependence on herbicides for weed control, precision weeders can reduce herbicide usage. Overall, no-till can help ensure more sustainable agricultural systems.
