Abstract


Paper
GIS Application of Sunflower Crop Survey the United States
Track: Agriculture
Author(s): John Nowatzki

This is a GIS application of a 2001 sunflower crop survey conducted in North Dakota. Data was collected at one location for each 5,000 acres of sunflowers planted. Information was collected for various weed, disease and insect infestations, and bird damage to the plants. The sample points, survey data and interpolated contour maps are available on the Internet site. The GIS generated sensitivity maps are served on the Internet using ArcIMS 3.1 and Internet Information Server, SP6, at http://134.129.78.15/website/sunflower/viewer.htm. Individuals can use a common Web browser to access the site and interact with the survey data in a spatial format.
