A comparison between spatial clustering models for determining N-fertilization management zones in orchards

Site-specific agricultural management (SSM) relies on identifying within-field spatial variability and is used for variable rate input of resources. Precision agricultural management commonly attempts to integrate multiple datasets to determine management zones (MZs), homogenous units within the field, based on spatial characteristics of environmental and crop properties (i.e., terrain, soil, vegetation conditions). This study compared several...
