Spatial Break-Even Analysis of Variable Rate Potassium Application Technology on Cotton: an Application on a Soybean-Cotton Field in Western Tennessee

Burton C. English, Roland K. Roberts, David Sleigh and S.B. Mahajanashetti


 
ABSTRACT

Answering the question, "will adopting new input application technology benefit the producer?" requires spatial analysis of a producer's farm, and should incorporate a comparison between current practices of the producer to the technology under consideration for adoption. In addition, it makes sense to use a mapping system to indicate areas of each field where a producer will benefit from adopting variable rate application technology. From this comparison, either information on additional profit, or information on how much a farmer can afford to spend on the technology can be visually as well as numerically presented.
