The Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer (MRVAA) is declining at a rapid rate due to withdrawal for agricultural irrigation. This research was conducted to develop a sensor-based irrigation threshold for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) that maximizes net returns and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE). ...

Kirk, K. R. and M. T. Plumblee. 2019. In Proceedings of the 2019 Beltwide Cotton Conference. Memphis, Tenn.: National Cotton Council of America. Directed RX is a method developed by Clemson researchers in an effort to optimize zone delineation and assignment of inputs for spatially variable prescriptions. The Directed RX method uses strip tests to integrate yield and therefore profitability effects with site-specific foundation (e.g. soil EC, elevation, irrigation) polygons, seeking to optimize prescriptions, specific to a field and input. ...

Kirk, Kendall R. 2017. ASABE Paper No. 1701598. St. Joseph, Mich.: ASABE. Directed R_X is a method developed by Clemson University researchers in an effort to optimize zone delineation and assignment of inputs for spatially variable prescriptions. Tests conducted in 2016 demonstrated potential benefits of the method from case studies in variable rate corn seeding (3-19 $/ac), dual hybrid corn seeding (2-18 $/ac above variable rate seeding benefit), variable rate soybean seeding ($6/ac), and variable rate nitrogen for cotton ($11/ac)....

D. Attaway. 2019. The Clemson Newsstand. February 4, 2019. Clemson, S.C.: Clemson University. Hurricanes, government shutdown and trade combined to create a tough year for South Carolina cotton farmers in 2018. But reports during the South Carolina Cotton Growers Annual Meeting held here Jan. 22 show steps are being taken to help farmers rebound in 2019. ...

D. Attaway. 2018. The Clemson Newsstand. September 28, 2018. Clemson, S.C.: Clemson University. Modern research and technology are important for today’s farmers and researchers at Clemson’s Edisto Research and Education Center are busy developing software and other scientific instruments to help South Carolina farmers produce profitable crops. The researchers shared their latest knowledge during the Edisto REC’s 2018 Fall Field Day. ...
