Title:
Development and Implementation of Site Specific and Reduced Risk Production Technology
Agreement Number:
959209
Agreement Value:
$49,993.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 1, 2020 - Oct 29, 2021
Description:
The proposed project is to develop and test remote sensing site specific field management technologies. It will be done with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles, sensors, and analytical software that will all work together to assess wild blueberry fields for plant coverage, canopy density and health. The analysis will also be used to generate site specific prescription maps that will be uploaded and used in self-propelled sprayers equipped with individual nozzle control (INC) which will allow for precise delivery of agrochemicals to the intended and prescribed areas of fields, reducing spray overlaps and non-target applications
