This article is based on a paper titled Within-Field Profitability Analysis Informs Agronomic Management Decision in the Mid-Atlantic USA (Kinoshita et al., 2016).
However, because the analysis aims to inform decision making, the results must be reviewed with awareness of the associated limitations.
Within-Field Profitability Analysis Informs Agronomic Management Decisions in the Mid-Atlantic, USA.
There are many benefits of having a well-structured research question which include increasing the likelihood of finding a solution to the problem [ 12], enhancing the clarity of the thought process in developing the protocol, informing the design, guiding analysis decisions, and ensuring publication [ 13- 15].
On the one hand, we need scientific information and analysis to inform decision making.
This new earth-observation system opens up a new avenue to fast assimilation of data from various sensors (both in situ and remote) and to accurate analysis and informed decision makings.
