UCPNM 1.0Water Management and Conservation Research, Maricopa, ArizonaThe UCPNM (Upland Cotton Petiole Nitrogen Management) application provides interpretation for cotton petiole nitrate data. Users can enter in-season petiole nitrate-N data in ppm from just before first square up to peak bloom. Secondly it is necessary to enter either the cotton growth stage or growing degree days since planting. The application returns information in graph form of what category the petiole nitrate data is in: deficient, optimal, or excessive. If deficient, a Nitrogen fertilizer application recommendation is given. The guidelines are based on Pennington and Tucker (1984), with the exception that we have lowered the deficiency line by 1000 ppm. The application is based on long-season, irrigated, low and high elevation arid cotton areas, so it may not be applicable for shorter season and humid cotton growing regions.
This application is available as either a web application or a Windows application. Both are available using the Download link below.

Native warm season grasses such as Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem and Blue Gramma showed greater or comparative nutrition to the crested wheatgrass we propose to replace. These warm season grasses are more digestible and contain more nutrients of value for livestock than crested wheatgrass harvested in the late summer. The data presented here suggest these grasses should be used to rehabilitate grasslands invaded by crested wheatgrass. Rachael Christensen

Cotton Irrigation ToolCropping Systems Research Laboratory, Lubbock, Texashttps://www.csrl.ars.usda.gov/wewc/CottonIrrigTool/index.php Dropping Ogallala aquifer levels and changing commodity prices and energy costs make irrigation management an important but uncertain issue to west Texas cotton producers. For example, is deficit or full irrigation more profitable under the current lint price and pumping cost conditions? Also, what is the best way to divide production into dryland and irrigated acreage with limited well capacity? To help producers answer these questions this web application estimates the effects of irrigation on the profitability of center pivot cotton production on the Southern High Plains. It's main purpose is to show the impact of irrigation on yield and the related effects on both profits per acre and profits over a center pivot area with combined dryland and irrigated production.

AGNPS - Annualized AGricultural Non-Point Source Pollutant Loading ModelWatershed Physical Processes Research, Oxford, MississippiThe Annualized Agricultural Non-Point Source Pollution Model (AnnAGNPS) is a continuous simulation watershed-scale program. The model is an expansion of the capabilities developed in the single event model AGNPS and is the pollutant loading model in the suite of models for the next generation of the suite of AGNPS modeling components. To use AnnAGNPS, the watershed is subdivided into homogenous land areas with respect to soil type, land use, land management, and climate. Areas can be of any shape including hydrologically-based or square grid (as was used in the single-event AGNPS). AnnAGNPS simulates quantities of surface water, sediment, nutrients, and pesticides leaving the land areas (cells) and their subsequent travel through the watershed. Some of the sediment, nutrients, and pesticides will reach the watershed outlet while the remainder will be deposited in the stream system. Calculations are done on a daily time step. Runoff quantities are based on runoff curve number while sheet & rill sediment is determined using RUSLE. Special components are included to handle concentrated sources of nutrients (feedlots and point sources), ephemeral gully sources, concentrated sediment sources (classical gullies), added water (irrigation), and the impacts of riparian buffers and wetlands. Output is expressed on an event basis for selected stream reaches and as source tracking (contribution to outlet or any other point in the watershed) from land or reach components over the simulation period.

Nearest Neighbor Soil Water Retention EstimatorHydrology and Remote Sensing Laboratory, Beltsville, Maryland (BARC)The k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) technique is a non-parametric technique that can be used to make predictions of discrete (class-type) as well as continuous variables. The k-NN technique and many of its derivatives belong to the group of 'lazy learning algorithms'. It is 'lazy', as it passively stores the development data set until the time of application; all calculations are performed only when estimations need to be generated. |
