Meet the newest K-State Agronomy Extension Specialist! Deepak Joshi joined Kansas State University in August as the Precision Agriculture Extension Specialist based in Manhattan. His responsibilities in this role include extension, outreach, and applied research related to precision agriculture and modern technologies in Kansas.
Using drones for early season field scouting
The advancement of precision agriculture technology, such as drones, can provide an efficient solution for early-season field scouting. In contrast to traditional scouting, drone scouting can be less time-consuming, have more thorough field coverage, and be less labor intensive.
Drones and satellites in agriculture - August 7 in Winfield
Mark your calendar for August 7 and join K-State Extension in Winfield to explore drones and satellite data in agriculture. The free morning event includes expert talks, hands-on drone demos, and a complimentary lunch. Registration is required by August 1.
Different types of drones used in precision agriculture
From mapping and scouting to spraying and seeding, drones are transforming farm management. Learn the strengths, limitations, and ideal uses of multirotor, fixed-wing, hybrid, and operational drones to match the right technology with your operation.
Crop monitoring with drone-based remote sensing technology
Traditional crop scouting has limits in tall, dense crops like corn at tasseling. Drone-based remote sensing can reveal crop health, detect stress, and improve yield predictions during this critical growth stage.
