10-2019 Sensors: It all starts with installation Article
When used correctly, soil moisture sensors can be a valuable tool for helping farmers know when to irrigate. Ensuring the information gathered by sensors is reliable and useful starts with proper installation. with proper installation. Sensors should be installed in the row with the crop, and it is best to install them when the crop is young, roughly 6 inches in height. This helps to minimize damage to the crop and provides the sensors an opportunity to go through a few wetting and drying cycles while installed in the field. Installing sensors when the crop is young allows more time for the sensors to acclimate to the soil before the farmer is ready to begin irrigation applications.
Ultra-Low Altitude Plant Sensing Through Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with Portable Hyperspectral Imagers for Detection of Glyphosate-Resistant and Susceptible Weeds in Soybean Fields Annual Report
Remote sensing technology on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a great potential for precision crop management with ultra-high spatial resolution (a few centimeters to millimeters per pixel) imagery through the flight at ultra-low altitudes (tens of meters to a few meters). Therefore, a portable hyperspectral sensor mounted on a small UAV has the potential to overfly a soybean field and quickly determine the distribution of weeds, including GR and GS weeds. This information can be provided in a timely manner for Mississippi soybean producers and consultants to improve their site-specific weed management.
30-2018 Nandula A Novel Technique to Measure Dicamba and Glyphosate Drift and Influence of New Formulations on Dicamba Absorption in Dicamba-Resistant Soybean Annual Report
Results from the above research will tremendously aid Mississippi soybean growers in making prudent weed management decisions and increasing their profitability, especially, involving dicamba resistant soybean technologies
37-2018 Quest for an alternative, environment-friendly control method for charcoal rot fungus: mycoviruses
In this project we propose to look for innovative and environment-friendly methods. The project is based on the premise that certain mycoviruses (viruses infecting fungi) can seriously affect/reduce pathogenicity of their hosts - the effect termed “hypovirulence”. These mild isolates of fungi are then used to outcompete more aggressive (pathogenic) isolates in certain environments (soils) and reduce effects of the disease. This strategy was successfully applied in the control of chestnut blight disease in Europe and can be potentially applied to any other fungus.
