Canopy Sensors & Nitrogen: Contributions to Adaptation & Mitigation to Climate Change (Video)

Dr. Peter Scharf, Professor, University of Missouri, discusses the use of nitrogen sensing equipment to maximize efficiency and minimize loss of nitrogen fertilizer, and nitrogen management’s potential to decrease production costs, increase crop yield and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in corn-based cropping systems.

This resource is part of the USDA-NIFA funded project for climate and agriculture that gathered data from 35 field sites and thousands of farmers in 9 Midwestern states, with the goal of creating a suite of practices for corn-based systems.
