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
regarding document delivery services and interlibrary loan
requests found at the end of this file.

fertilizers; Pollutants; Susceptibility; Expert systems
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.

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.

Decision making; Economic thresholds; Herbicides; Computer
software; Microcomputers; Crop yield; Yield losses; Crop weed
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.

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.

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.
