Ec00-2540 Field Records For Restricted Use Pesticide Applications And Integrated Crop Management By Private Applicators, Clyde Ogg, Larry D. Schulze, Charles A. Shapiro, William L. Kranz, Ralph D. Kulm Jan 2000

Ec00-2540 Field Records For Restricted Use Pesticide Applications And Integrated Crop Management By Private Applicators, Clyde Ogg, Larry D. Schulze, Charles A. Shapiro, William L. Kranz, Ralph D. Kulm

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Private applicators must record their restricted use pesticide (RUP) applications, as required by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade (FACT) Act of 1990. The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service administers this activity. In Nebraska, RUP application records must be maintained for three years from the date of application. The certified pesticide applicator should retain these RUP records, but must be able to make them accessible for copying by authorized representatives. This booklet is a suggested guide for preliminary or final RUP application records.

Ec00-154 Precision Agriculture: Soil Sampling For Precision Agriculture, Richard B. Ferguson, Gary W. Hergert

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

As various aspects of precision agriculture are implemented in Nebraska, some of the most frequent questions asked by producers, fertilizer dealers and crop consultants relate to soil sampling. Should I soil sample this field on a grid? What grid spacing should I use? How often should I sample? Can I use a yield map to tell where to soil sample? All of these are good questions, but often we do not have definitive answers. Site-specific management research conducted in recent years in Nebraska, however, provides some direction on how to implement a soil sampling program for precision agriculture.
