A field-scale experiment was conducted to determine the ability of a deterministic model developed for Western Australian wheat farmers to guide site-specific applications of nitrogen fertiliser. The results indicated that site-specific information of achievable yield improved the prediction accuracy much more than information about soil nitrogen — even though the latter was more costly to acquire. When applied together, these sources of information improved the prediction accuracy of the model markedly, explaining about half of the variation of yield response to nitrogen. However, the model failed to explain a substantial portion of site-specific variation, even with this intensity of information. This failure indicates the difficulty of representing complex biological systems with simple functional models.

Site Specific Nutrient Management (SSNM) trials were conducted for irrigated, transplanted and high yielding rice (Oryza sativa L.) during Boro season 2012. Four treatments (NPK, PK, NK, and NP) were applied in a randomized complete block design to assess the effects of indigenous nutrient elements on rice yield and yield components. The trials were conducted so as to develop a site specific nutrient management approach for the farmers of Gangtic Tidal Floodplain ecosystem. The highest grain-yield of 5.64 t ha-1 was observed in NPK treatment, which gave 9.0, 34.4 and 50.7% higher yields than those of NP, NK and PK, respectively. The response to indigenous K was remarkable and it gave the second highest yield (5.13 t ha-1). The yield response to indigenous N was very poor and the lowest yield was found in N omission treatment (2.78 t ha-1). The response to indigenous P was also poor (3.7 t ha-1). This result shows that nitrogen and phosphorus are the most vibrant factors to increase yield since omission of N and P had significant impact on yield during Boro season. Use of N, P and K at 128.7, 8.08 and 12.78 kg, respectively could be recommended for growing BRRI dhan47 in Boro season. It could save P and K nutrient by 55.11 and 75.89 % compared to that of NPK treatment, respectively. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/agric.v11i1.15236 The Agriculturists 2013; 11(1) 8-14

Simulations based on site-specific crop growth models have been widely used to obtain regional yield potential estimates for food security assessments at the regional scale. By dividing a region into nonoverlapping basic spatial units using appropriate zonation schemes, the data required to run a crop growth model can be reduced, thereby improving the simulation efficiency. In this study, we explored the impacts of different zonation schemes on estimating the regional yield potential of the Chinese winter wheat area to obtain the most appropriate spatial zonation scheme of weather sites therein. Our simulated results suggest that the upscaled site-specific yield potential is affected by the zonation scheme and by the spatial distribution of sites. As such, the distribution of a small number of sites significantly affected the simulated regional yield potential under different zonation schemes, and the zonation scheme based on sunshine duration clustering zones could effectively guarantee the simulation accuracy at the regional scale. Using the most influential environmental variable of crop growth models for clustering can get the better zonation scheme to upscale the site-specific simulation results. In contrast, a large number of sites had little effect on the regional yield potential simulation results under the different zonation schemes.
