Tactical Management
Planning, executing, and monitoring the progress are the three basic steps of tactical management. Putting plans in effect by using technology and seasonal climate forecasts helps to better match crop performance with seasonal environmental conditions. During good...
Cropping Strategies
On individual farms, the sequences of crops that are grown define the cropping strategy to meet economic and environmental objectives. Prairies are common ecosystems found in America. The cropping sequence of the Prairie Zones start with cereal crops such as wheat and...
Plant Nutrition
Plant growth is a network of chemical reactions that requires a continuing supply of essential mineral nutrients absorbed from the soil by root systems. Minerals are found in the soils due to the weathering of the parent rock, or through deposition by dust and/or...
Water Relations
Water is an essential reactant in photosynthesis. Without it, sugars cannot be produced, and the plant will have no energy to perform other cellular functions. Plants mostly obtain their water from the soil and transport it through the xylem vessels to the rest of the...
