2. Site Specific Management Guidelines:
These guidelines discuss different Precision Agriculture topics. The guidelines were created as a partnership project between SDSU and the Phosphate and Potash Institute (PPI). Experts in different subject areas from around the country were asked to write articles. The articles are an 'extension' type publication, not research. Each guideline has been reviewed by a panel of experts before publication. As of Spring 2002, 38 guidelines have been published.
