| Highlights |
- Economic analysis of precision farming practices for cotton, grain sorghum, peanuts, and corn indicate that these practices have the potential to be economically beneficial as compared to conventional production practices.

- 2002 results from Seminole, TX revealed that high soil K areas of the 34-ac study area had the lowest peanut yields. High soil K may be interfering with Ca uptake. This suggests site-specific Ca fertilization in low Ca and high K soils only.

- A three-year study determined that greenbugs in sorghum are affected by irrigation and plant density. Greenbugs per plant decreased as plant populations increased and increased as irrigation levels increased.
With six years of data, we have determined the optimal start date to begin accumulating degree days (3/10-11), and have also determined the optimal temperature threshold for Western corn rootworm adult emergence (6.67C).

- The South Plains AgriPartners program facilitates Precision Ag initiative technology transfer from the research scientist and Extension specialist project teams to producers and any clientele seeking precision farming information via the internet.
South Plains AgriPartners Demonstration Technicians work under the supervision of Extension specialists and County Extension Agents to assist in the implementation and evaluation of a variety of larger "farm-size" applied research Precision Ag projects.
Through the use of South Plains AgriPartner technology transfer funds, farmer-friendly Precision Ag publications are developed and electronic technology transfer capabilities are updated to facilitate/accelerate dissemination of information to the public.

- Spatial characterization of soil properties and peanut yield. 2002. Bronson, K., C. Trostle and M. Schubert Lubbock. 2002 results from Seminole, TX revealed that high soil K areas of the 34-ac study area had the lowest peanut yields. High soil K may be interfering with Ca uptake. This suggests site-specific Ca fertilization in low Ca and high K soils only.

A three-year study determined that greenbugs in sorghum are affected by irrigation and plant density. Greenbugs per plant decreased as plant populations increased and increased as irrigation levels increased.
