Brief Project Summary:

Management zones are created within a field to group similar soil and yield properties and minimize variability. Once established, they are managed according to their unique properties and inputs are optimized to meet production potentials. Management zones can be utilized for variable-rate applications including fertilizer, lime, pesticides and seed. This project will assist growers in identifying available data that can be used to create production management zones, and to provide resources on how to generate management zones using agricultural GIS software.
