Digital Agriculture
We apply precision farming technologies to on-farm research to address challenges and emerging issues:
-
- Inconsistency in obtaining target grain quality to meet international market standards
- Low nutrient-use efficiency
- Soil health degradation due to large and frequent fertilizer applications, tillage, erosion, etc.
- Evaluating fertility recommendations
Fertility, Residue, and Tillage Management
Good nutrient management is essential for crop yield and quality. Nutrient losses from agricultural fields can reduce economic returns and pollute the environment.
Farmers, crop consultants and government agencies rely on university-based recommendations for soil fertility management to improve:
-
- Crop yield and quality
- Soil health and sustainability
- Human and environmental health
- Farm economics, and socioeconomics
