Location: East side of Columbia, just off Interstate 70 at the intersection with state highway 63.
Results from 2003 Workshop
1. To share ideas and concepts relative to improved NUE for corn production.
2. To delineate the components needed within functional algorithms that employ active sensors.
3. To discuss the current regional project and identify improvements needed for conducting future collaborative sensor-based research.
4. To develop agronomic relationships between active sensors and N management for other crops.
