Growing biomass crops for energy production on low productivity lands that are not used for food production has been suggested as an alternative to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from transportation fuel. Switchgrass is considered a potential feedstock...

Precision agriculture has the capability to reduce excess nitrogen (N) from crop production being released into the environment. This research evaluates the profitability and N use efficiency of utilizing real-time optical sensing with variable-rate technologies (VRT) to manage spatial...
