Study on Delineation of Irrigation Management Zones Based on Management Zone Analyst Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
For more efficient field operation and management of precision irrigation, Management Zone Analyst (MZA) software was used to delineate irrigation management zones. MZA is a simple and fast software for subfield management zone delineation on the basis of fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. The measured soil physical properties of Chahayang Farm in Heilongjiang Province were taking as data source in the paper. Principal component analysis was firstly used to eliminate the multiple correlations of the data and MZA was then performed to delineate irrigation management zones of the study area. The results indicated that the study area was divided into two irrigation management zones by MZA, and soil physical properties had high uniformity in each subzone and significant difference between subzones which confirmed the partition. The delineation of irrigation management zones based on MZA had high precision and could make up the deficiencies of higher theoretical level and hard mastery of other clustering algorithms. The delineation results based on MZA can provide the basis for decision making of precision irrigation practices.

متن کاملEZZone – An Online Tool for Delineating Management Zones
Management zones are a pillar of Precision Agriculture research. Spatial variability is apparent in all fields, and assessing this variability through measurement devices can lead to better management decisions. The use of Geographic Information Systems for agricultural management is common, especially with management zones. Although many algorithms have been produced in research settings, no o...
متن کاملDelineation of Management Zones In an Apple Orchard: Correlations Between Yield and Soil Properties
In the present paper the yield and soil spatial variability in an apple orchard was studied. Apples were collected manually and placed in plastic bins along the tree rows. Yield per ten trees was weighted and the geographical position in the centre of the ten trees was recorded, using a GPS, in order to create the yield map. The orchard was divided in management zones with the Management Zone A...

This paper presents a quantitative modeling for delineating alteration zones in the hypogene zone of the Miduk porphyry copper deposit (SE Iran) based on the core drilling data. The main goal of this work was to apply the Ordinary Kriging (OK), Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), and Concentration-Volume (C-V) fractal modelings on Cu grades to separate different alteration zones. Anisotropy was ...
