Research should include technology such as
- UAS
- monitoring plant growth
- monitoring animal operations
- monitoring soil conditions
- detecting diseases
- identifying pests
- identifying nutrient deficiencies
- satellites
- sensors
- weather stations.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What is the Network for Environment and Weather Applications (NEWA), and how is it used in conjunction with weather stations as an agricultural decision support tool?
- How are plant disease, insect pest development, and crop production models helpful when making production decisions?
