Floridan Aquifer Collaborative Engagement for Sustainability (FACETS) - Field trial data from University of Georgia Stripling Irrigation Research Park (SIRP): ARDN Products

    ARDN (Agricultural Research Data Network) annotations for "Floridan Aquifer Collaborative Engagement for Sustainability (FACETS) - Field trial data from University of Georgia Stripling Irrigation Research Park (SIRP)". The ARDN project (https://data.nal.usda.gov/ardn) is a network of datasets harmonized and aggregated using the ICASA vocabulary, as recommended by USDA NAL (https://data.nal.usda.gov/data-dictionary-examples) and described in detail here: www.tinyurl.com/icasa-mvl”. The original dataset presents evaluations of different irrigation and fertilization treatments (corn and cotton have three nitrogen fertilization and three irrigation treatments, peanut has nine irrigation treatments and no N fertilizer treatment) at the University of Georgia’s Stripling Irrigation Research Park (SIRP) located near Camilla, Georgia in a 4 ha research field.

    Mississippi School Food Service Directors' Interest in and Experience with Farm to School

      The dataset contains information collected from 122 K-12 public school food service directors in Mississippi, USA, who completed an online survey designed for Mississippi school food service directors. Information includes school size (number of enrolled students), percent of students participating in free or reduced-price lunch, foods sourced locally (defined as grown or produced in Mississippi), desire to purchase more or start purchasing locally sourced foods, fresh fruit and vegetable purchasing practices, experience purchasing fruits and vegetables from farmers, challenges purchasing from farmers, and interest in other farm to school (F2S) activities.

      Floridan Aquifer Collaborative Engagement for Sustainability (FACETS) - Field trial data from Live Oak, Florida: ARDN products

        ARDN (Agricultural Research Data Network) annotations for "Floridan Aquifer Collaborative Engagement for Sustainability (FACETS) - Field trial data from Live Oak, Florida". The ARDN project (https://data.nal.usda.gov/ardn) is a network of datasets harmonized and aggregated using a common vocabulary termed ICASA. ICASA is a recommended data dictionary by USDA NAL (https://data.nal.usda.gov/data-dictionary-examples) described in detail here: www.tinyurl.com/icasa-mvl. Research was conducted at the North Florida Research and Education Center - Suwannee Valley, located near Live Oak, Florida (30°18’22” N, 82°54’00” W). Corn, carrots, peanuts, and rye (cover crop) were grown on Hurricane, Chipley, and Blanton soil complexes that are all over 90% sand. The experimental design utilized a randomized complete block design with split plot that incorporated two fields with eight blocks (treatment replicates) and fifteen plots per block. The main plots contained four irrigation treatments, and the sub-plots contained three different nitrogen rates. The SMS irrigation treatment contained three additional nitrogen treatments. The north field in the study (System 2) was a corn-cover crop-peanut-cover crop rotation, while the south field (System 1) was a corn-carrot-peanut-cover crop rotation. During each growing season, soil moisture was monitored using capacitance type soil moisture sensors, soil nitrogen was measured through bi-weekly soil samples at four depths, and biomass was collected four times with the final sample being collected just prior to harvest.

        Data from: Mississippi Farmers' Interest in and Experience with Farm to School

          The dataset contains information collected from 38 individuals residing in Mississippi, USA, who completed an online survey designed for small farmers in Mississippi and who fit the USDA definition of small farm (yearly gross cash farm income <$250,000). Information includes farm products grown or raised, harvest months, produce amounts, farm certifications, internet use, selling practices, experience selling to K-12 schools, challenges selling to K-12 schools, and interest in farm to school (F2S) activities. Farmer demographic characteristics collected include gender, age, ethnicity/race, marital status, and education level.

          The Bushland, Texas, Winter Wheat Datasets

            This parent dataset links to three seasons of datasets on winter wheat grown for grain at the USDA-ARS Conservation and Production Laboratory (CPRL), Soil and Water Management Research Unit (SWMRU), Bushland, Texas (Lat. 35.186714°, Long. -102.094189°, elevation 1170 m above MSL) in 1989-90, 1991-92, and 1992-93. Winter wheat was grown on two large, precision weighing lysimeters, each in the center of a 4.44 ha square field. The datasets for individual years consist of soil water content, weather, crop growth and yield, agronomic calendar, water balance (evapotranspiration, precipitation, dew/frost, irrigation), and lysimeter energy and water balance data. Additional resources provide metadata on conventions, symbols used, geographic coordinates of fields, lysimeters and weather stations, and soil properties.

            The Bronson Files, Dataset 10, Field 113, 2018 Cotton

              Dr. Kevin Bronson provides a dataset representing the third of three consecutive years of cotton and nitrogen management experimentation in Field 113 of the Maricopa Agricultural Center, Arizona USA. Included is an intermediate analysis mega-table of correlated and calculated parameters, laboratory analysis results generated during the experimentation, plus high-resolution plot level intermediate data analysis tables of SAS process output, as well as the complete raw data sensor recorded logger outputs. Note that the second and third year of F113 cotton experimentation includes a large utilization of depleted nitrogen-15 isotope tracing to support evaluation of nitrogen use and uptake.

              The Bushland, Texas, Alfalfa Datasets

                This parent dataset links to four seasons of datasets on alfalfa grown for grain at the USDA-ARS Conservation and Production Laboratory (CPRL), Soil and Water Management Research Unit (SWMRU), Bushland, Texas (Lat. 35.186714°, Long. -102.094189°, elevation 1170 m above MSL) in 1996 through 1999. Alfalfa was grown on two large, precision weighing lysimeters, each in the center of a 4.44 ha square field. The datasets for individual years consist of soil water content, weather, crop growth and yield, agronomic calendar, water balance (evapotranspiration, precipitation, dew/frost, irrigation), and lysimeter energy and water balance data. Additional resources provide metadata on conventions, symbols used, geographic coordinates of fields, lysimeters and weather stations, and soil properties.
