 Quick Bibliography Series 
 Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography series of the
 National Agricultural Library (NAL), are intended primarily for
 current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are
 not in-depth and exhaustive. However, the citations are a
 substantial resource for recent investigations on a given topic. 
 They also serve the purpose of bringing the literature of
 agriculture to the interested user who, in many cases, could not
 access it by any other means.  The bibliographies are derived
 from online searches of the AGRICOLA database.  Timeliness of
 topic and evidence of extensive interest are the selection
 criteria.  Send suggestions for Quick Bibliography topics to
 wqic@nal.usda.gov
 
 The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
 strategy of the Quick Bibliography.  Information regarding
 these is available from the author/searcher. The inclusion or
 omission of a particular publication or citation should not be
 construed as endorsement or disapproval. An author and subject
 index is provided along with the search strategy.
 
 PLEASE NOTE:  If Quick Bibliography files are copied and/or
 distributed, please include in all copies the information

 Abstract:  A geographic information system (GRASS 3.1) was
 used to correlate the availability of nitrogen fertilizer with
 the susceptibility of ground water to pollution in Texas to
 identify potential ground water quality problems. An
 agricultural pollution susceptibility map, produced by the
 Texas Water Commission using the DRASTIC methodology, was
 combined with information on cropped areas, recommended
 nitrogen fertilizer application rates, and aquifer outcrops. A
 Nitrogen Fertilizer Pollution Potential Index was generated,
 identifying 24 percent or Texas within the high pollution
 potential category. An analysis of the susceptibility of major
 aquifer outcrops to potential pollution from nitrogen
 fertilizer indicated that 34 percent of the outcrop areas fall
 in the high pollution potential range. It is proposed that
 correlating the availability of a pollutant with an assessment
 of the susceptibility of ground water to pollution yields a
 more accurate screening tool for identifying potential
 pollution problems than considering susceptibility alone.

 Abstract:  Development of a regionally-specific expert system
 to estimate corn/soybean production on an individual-field and
 whole-farm basis is described. Rules and equations to project
 yield as a function of tillage system, crop rotation,
 latitude, soil series, and soybean row spacing and maturity
 group were derived from interviews with three experts. The
 resulting knowledge was encoded into computer logic written
 entirely in C-language. Although very small, the program
 retains the functionality of expert systems developed in
 shells. On-line explanations are available to explain why each
 input is requested. Help screens offer expanded explanation of
 each question. Conclusions are displayed as they are reached.
 Management suggestions are offered where appropriate,
 including recommending a conservation tillage system, flagging
 highly erodible fields, indicating erosion control measures,
 suggesting that a field be tilled as two separate fields, and
 warning against farming steep slopes in row crops. The program
 goes beyond the features offered by some shells, permitting
 the user to back up in the program, to execute UNIX or DOS
 commands from within the program, and to store a partial run
 in a disk file to be resumed later. The program has been
 released as Public Domain software, with over 300 copies
 currently in use.

 Abstract:  An expert system for aerial spray drift and
 possible crop damage has been developed and tested. The user
 supplies 21 pieces of information regarding such things as the
 atomizer type, aircraft speed, meteorological conditions, type
 and amount of pesticide and the crop and its growth stage. The
 expert system calculates the expected drift deposit and the
 corresponding upper 95% confidence limit for a given downwind
 distance. The program also calculates the volumetric
 application rate and provides the user with a statement
 indicating whether or not a given application is likely to
 cause drift damage at the specified site. Nine of the 14
 verification simulations yielded predicted drift deposits
 which were within +/- 3 fold of the reported drift deposits.
 The largest ratio between predicted/reported drift deposits
 was 3.79 and the smallest ratio was 0.215.

 Abstract:  The GOSSYM/COMAX system, a decision aid for cotton
 crop management, has been tested over the last five years on
 research and commercial farms across the cotton belt of the
 United States. GOSSYM simulates the major biotic and abiotic
 processes which influence growth, development and yield of
 cotton. Phenological and physiological rate equations derived
 from Soil-Plant-Atmosphere-Research (SPAR) experimental
 databases are crucial to the model development process. COMAX
 is an expert system environment that provides data management
 and a user friendly interface to GOSSYM. GOSSYM/COMAX is more
 properly called a model-based-reasoning system rather than an
 expert system. This is due primarily to COMAX's use of rules
 to control its operation while the important knowledge about
 cotton resides in GOSSYM. The rules used by COMAX contain the
 expert knowledge of the model builders on how to use GOSSYM
 and how to interpret the model results. The belt-wide farm
 management test has provided useful information on designing
 an enhanced user interface and developing improved rules to
 optimize management inputs.

 competition; Returns Abstract:  To efficiently use
 postemergence herbicides, decision makers must determine when
 weed populations exceed economic treatment thresholds. An
 interactive microcomputer program named HERB has been
 developed to help evaluate potential crop damage from multi-
 species weed complexes in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and
 determine the appropriate course of action. Seventy-six weed
 species were rated on a scale of zero to 10 according to their
 competitiveness with soybean. Potential yield loss is
 estimated from these rankings, the number of weeds of each
 species present in the field, and expected weed-free yield.
 The recommendation whether to apply a herbicide and, if so,
 which one, is based on herbicide cost and efficacies under
 different conditions and expected soybean selling price.
 Alternative herbicide choices are ranked according to expected
 net return. HERB is intended to provide the latest research
 information in an organized and easily usable format. The
 approach should be applicable to other crops and pests.

 Abstract:  A knowledge engineering tool, MKSMART (Multiple
 Knowledge Source Management And Reasoning Tool), was developed
 for building applications that use a blackboard architecture.
 MKSMART is useful for applications such as constructing
 knowledge-based decision support systems that use multiple
 knowledge sources, developing blackboard-like systems, and
 constructing systems that require the coupling of numeric and
 symbolic reasoning. To demonstrate MKSMART's capabilities, a
 decision support program for estimating soil erosion losses
 was developed. The advantages over traditional modeling
 techniques include use of the optimal knowledge representation
 and reasoning paradigm, integration of diverse types of
 knowledge, and modular program structure.

 Abstract:  A knowledge-based, microcomputer software package
 was developed for preliminary selection of environmental
 features for use with streambank protection projects,
 straightened and enlarged channels, and flood control levees.
 The system contains a module for each of the three major
 alteration types: bank protection, levees, and channels. Each
 module queries the user for information regarding
 environmental factors to be protected and a description of the
 project setting, with the internal logic configured to
 minimize the number of questions asked. System output consists
 of a list of environmental design features suitable for the
 specific location and descriptive information. Help screens
 explain why certain questions are asked, define terms, and
 suggest responses or sources of information. At the conclusion
 of a consultation, additional help screens may be displayed
 that provide a discussion of each recommended feature, a list
 of existing projects that incorporate the feature, and a
 bibliography. The streambank protection module screens a
 master list of 20 methods based on the dominant erosion
 mechanisms operative at the project site, and the channel
 module performs a rough channel stability assessment using
 regime equations. The latest version of the software aids in
 feature selection, but does not design channel alterations.
 However, the software interfaces with routines that perform
 basic hydraulic computations (e.g., composite roughness,
 normal depth, riprap size) for steady flow in order to allow
 users to quickly evaluate feasibility of in-channel
 environmental features. A survey of users indicated that the
 package has been used by entry-level and experienced
 professionals to perform a limited range of specialized tasks.
 Seventy-four percent of the users described the software as a
 useful instrument for planning and preliminary design.

 Abstract:  A decision support system was developed to assist
 county agents, consultants, and farmers with the management of
 field corn (maize). The program includes production and post-
 harvest recommendations. Management recommendations in the
 production season section are primarily based on several
 experts' experience and knowledge. A combination of knowledge-
 based approaches and numerical optimization techniques are
 used in the post-harvest section for identifying and
 evaluating potential storage sites stored grain insect
 diagnosis and control, and optimal bin number and size for
 high- and low-temperature grain drying. The program is
 currently being used in the field by crop management
 association technicians and extension personnel who assist
 farmers with management decisions.

 Descriptors:  Hordeum vulgare; Malting barley; Crop

 based system for malting barley management was developed. The
 system gives advice on fertilizer and water applications to
 maximize crop yield under strict quality constraints. An
 uncertainty handling routine based on fuzzy set theory was
 implemented to resolve conflicts between two sources of
 evidence on which the decisions are based. Initial testing of
 the fertilizer module revealed disagreement between the
 knowledge-based system recommendation and field agronomists'
 recommendations. However, in many cases the knowledge-based
 system recommendation was more reliable than the human expert.
