Decision support systems (DSS) for better fertiliser management

Code: 9781786767301
Dhahi Al-Shammari, Patrick Filippi, James P. Moloney, Niranjan S. Wimalathunge, Brett M. Whelan and Thomas F. A. Bishop, The University of Sydney, Australia

Chapter synopsis: This chapter reviews some of the approaches used by DSS to determine fertiliser application decisions. The chapter highlights direct methods and indirect techniques: simulation models, yield forecasts using data-driven approaches and yield forecasts based on water supply. The chapter includes two case studies to estimate season-specific nitrogen requirements of wheat crops at a within-field scale in Australia. These models forecast yield in two key periods of the season in which farmers make decisions for fertiliser applications – pre-sowing, and mid-season.
