“Precision nitrogen management for improving yield and protein content in wheat” with Dr. Olga Walsh. Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients for crops, which is required in large amounts for crop production and demands precise nutrient management methods due to its highly mobile property in plants and soils and high chances of leaching. Precise nutrient management is also important for improving the yield and quality of grains, minimizing the input, and maximizing the efficiency. Assessing the real-time plant growth, biomass production, and nutrient depletion in the soil using different precision agriculture techniques like drones, remote sensing, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and other camera-based devices helps optimize nutrient management. In this episode, Dr. Olga Walsh shares her research on precision nitrogen management for yield and protein content estimation on spring wheat and sugar beet by using different hand-held sensors, drones, and remote sensing approaches. Tune in to learn more about ·         What values are best to look for when doing remote sensing in wheat ·         How drones, remote sensing, and camera applications are helping predict biomass and nutrient requirements ·         What yield and protein content was estimated from the sensors tested ·         How hand-held and UAV sensors compare If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here:  https://doi.org/10.1002/agg2.20309 This paper is always freely available.

Hello and welcome to the ZimmCast. I'm Chuck Zimmerman. As we come to the end of 2023, we already have dates on the calendar going into the new year for about the same events we did this year, most of which we have been doing for about 15 years. From Beltwide Cotton Conferences right after new years to the American Seed Trade association Field Crops seed convention, we stayed busy all year. Here is a compilation of interviews from 2023. And that will wrap it up for 2023 – see you somewhere on the agriblogging highway in 2024. And that's the ZimmCast. I hope you enjoyed it and thank you for listening.

Dr. Mike Canady is a scientist with a background in plant breeding who is currently director of agronomy for specialty crops at Verdesian Life Sciences. In this conversation, we learn about how farmers can help plants use nutrients more efficiently. We also discuss the use of biostimulants to enhance plant production. To learn more about these types of products, you can visit the Verdesian Life Sciences website at http://vlsci.com/ or contact Mike directly: utcanady@gmail.com.

One of the most important decisions a farmer can make is choosing the best products for the management and prevention of crop disease. Ed Zaworski invites University of Kentucky plant pathologist, Dr. Kiersten Wise, onto the pod to discuss the Crop Protection Network Fungicide Efficacy Guide Series and how these ratings were developed to rate various fungicides and their ability to control major crop diseases in the United States. For more information read the full-length web book Fungicide Use in Field Crops.
