In precision agriculture, the estimation of soil parameters via sensors and the creation of nutrient maps are a prerequisite for farmers to take targeted measures such as spatially resolved fertilization. In this work, 68 soil samples uniformly distributed over a field near Bonn are investigated usi…

Utility of visible and near-infrared spectroscopy to predict base neutralizing capacity and lime requirement of quaternary soils. Precision Agriculture, 24(1), 288-309. doi:10.1007/s11119-022-09945-9

AbstractDetailed knowledge of a soil’s lime requirement (LR) is a prerequisite for a demand-based lime fertilization to achieve the optimum soil pH and thus sustainably increasing soil fertility and crop yields. LR can be directly determined by the base neutralizing capacity (BNC) obtained by soil-b…

AbstractMobile proximal gamma-ray spectrometry (GS) is an emerging approach to estimate soil texture directly in the field. It relies on gamma radiation emitted during the natural decay of potassium-40 (K-40) and other isotopes. The K-40 counts are correlated with total K content, mineralogical soil…

AbstractDetailed knowledge about soil composition is an important prerequisite for many applications, for example precision agriculture. Current standard laboratory methods are complex and time‐consuming but could be complemented by non‐invasive optical techniques. Its capability to provide a molecu…

Soil visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy has been widely used for soil characterization, due to its high potential for assessing different soil properties. However, despite great successes achieved by applying the method, there is a potential for further improvement, especially regardin…

Simulation of winter wheat response to variable sowing dates and densities in a high-yielding environment. Journal of Experimental Botany, 73(16), 5715-5729. doi:10.1093/jxb/erac221

Abstract Crop multi-model ensembles (MME) have proven to be effective in increasing the accuracy of simulations in modelling experiments. However, the ability of MME to capture crop responses to changes in sowing dates and densities has not yet been investigated. These management interventions are …

(2022). Same soil, different climate: Crop model intercomparison on translocated lysimeters. Vadose Zone Journal, 21(4), . doi:10.1002/vzj2.20202

AbstractCrop model intercomparison studies have mostly focused on the assessment of predictive capabilities for crop development using weather and basic soil data from the same location. Still challenging is the model performance when considering complex interrelations between soil and crop dynamics…
