As a post-harvest field treatment, flooding is becoming more common in the agriculturally dominated landscape of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV) in the southeastern United States.
Importantly, newborn lizards were only found in the natural habitat patches and in post-harvest legume fields.
In California's Central Valley, post-harvest flooding of rice fields increases the decomposition of rice stubble and provides habitat for over 50 species of waterbirds.
There were no fungicides applied to the organic strawberry fields for post-harvest control of gray mold (Botrytis cinerea), in contrast to multiple fungicide applications to the conventional fields.
Data become more reliable and the data cleaning process can be accelerated with implementation of the pre-harvest, in-field, and post-harvest practices described in this article.
This article presents best practices (pre-harvest, in-field, and post-harvest) that minimize yield monitor data errors and noise, reduce loss of data, and speed up data cleaning.
The accuracy of yield data depends not only on proper calibration of yield monitoring equipment prior to and during harvest, but also on operation in the field and post-harvest data cleaning.
Regarding the CK treatment, nitrate accumulation rates post-harvest in the successive 6-year field trials were lower than those before the broadcast, which resulted in nitrogen deficiency in soils.
Fungal contamination may occur pre-harvest in the field or post-harvest during storage, and may also be influenced by environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature.
Foliar necrotic lesions and diminished photosynthetic capacity cause reductions in fruit number and size per bunch, with premature fruit ripening observed in the field and post-harvest.
Current low cost protection strategies include planting of uninfected seeds, limiting nitrogen fertilizers, perpetual field flooding, and post-harvest burning of plant remains [ 2]; however, these strategies can neither eliminate infections nor resolve situations when a field does become infected.
