Research Project:
Cotton Harvesting Research Applications to Enhance Production Management
Location: Crop Genetics and Production Research
Project Number: 6208-21410-005-21
Project Type:
Nonfunded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: May 15, 2008
End Date: Dec 31, 2012
Objective:
Use data gathered during harvest to develop and improve crop management tools.
Approach:
Test plots located on the Texas High Plains will be planted with multiple cotton varieties and grown under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions. Remote sensing of the plots at various stages of growth will be performed to evaluate the status of the plants. The plots will be harvested with a machine equipped with a yield monitor. The yield data will be correlated with the remote sensing data to develop yield prediction algorithms.
