Knowing on-farm disease and other related information in a growing season supports integrated pest management. The project goal is to improve abilities to rapidly and more site-specifically obtain and analyze disease information using satellite remote-sensing techniques. The long-term goal is to develop ways to use satellite remote sensing data for better disease management. The aim is to integrate a satellite remote-sensing technique for disease detection into a site-specific farm management program. Work quantifies the correlation between historical disease occurrence and remote-sensing imageries (aerial and satellite) for soybean diseases, uses in-season images to compute the occurrence of major soybean diseases and evaluates the use of imageries to determine soybean key growth stages for disease surveys.Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, Extension agents, seed companies, soybean breeders
Information needed to integrate a satellite remote sensing technique for disease detection into a site specific farm management program proposed by the On-Farm Network.
The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
