Estimating balanced nutrient requirements for soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) in China is essential for identifying optimal fertilizer application regimes to increase soybean yield and nutrient use efficiency. We collected datasets from field experiments in major soybean planting regions of China between 2001 and 2015 to assess the relationship between soybean seed yield and nutrient uptake, an...

Soil fertility is one of many factors which influence farmers’ choices regarding agricultural production, fertilisation and soil and water conservation. Before we can study the effects however, we need to measure soil fertility. We use the QUEFTS model (QUantitative Evaluation of the Fertility of Tropical Soils Janssen et al., 1990), which predicts crop yields from chemical soil characteristics...

15/35 Abstract Crop production on smallholder agricultural land must increase considerably if the growing world population is to be fed. To achieve this, affordable soil testing methods, fertilizer recommendations and the accessibility of optimal fertilizers containing the required nutrients are required. The SoilCares mobile laboratory offers affordable soil testing using infrared spectroscopy...

background and objectives: the quefts model is using for optimizing fertilizer managements in crops, but it has not been used in iran yet. quefts accounts for interactions among npk affecting the ie of n, p and k and allows differentiation according to different yield levels targeted. it is necessary to determine crops parameters before application the model in the studying area. the first step...

این پژوهش با الهام گرفتن از نتایج یک طرح مطالعاتی کاربردی، رویکرد سلسله­‌مراتبی جهت پیگیری فرایند توسعه تأمین‌کنندگان و حمایت تصمیمات موجود در هر مراحل آن ارائه‌ می‌کند. ابتدا، زمینه‌های تأمین نیازمند سپس واجد شرایط هریک زمینه‌ها به کمک تصمیم‌گیری چندشاخصه بهترین-بدترین مشخص می‌گردند. معیارهای شناسایی نیز مرور مطالعات پیشین بهره‌گیری نظرات خبرگان حوزه‌ی خرید استخراج‌شده‌اند. درنهایت، مدل ریاضی ...
