Excited to announce the publication of my research investigating spray deposition and uniformity of the TTA M4E and DJI Agras T30 unmanned aerial application systems across a range of application parameters.

Some exciting work this week evaluating spray and dry spreader deposition patterns with #spraydrones. This type of information is vital for the effective application of these tools in #plant24. #precisionag #drones

[AU Precision Ag @AU_PrecisionAg]

Our team had a great time presenting #precisionag #cotton research, learning and networking at the 2024 Beltwide Cotton Conference in Fort Worth, TX this week!! #bwcc24 #gacotton @UGATifton @UGA_CollegeofAg @NCottonCouncil

Few cold mornings this week but that’s not stopping us from getting started on #research24. Pulling soil samples in some of the plots going in fertilizer research next year!! #agtech #precisionnutrientmanagement @UGADigitalAg @UGATifton

Look at this great group of bright young potential future @AgGateway members! The Gateway to Ag Careers is in Nashville this week at the annual meeting.

@CropSoilUGA Honored to have been selected for this award!

[AU Precision Ag @AU_PrecisionAg]

Our team had a great time attending, presenting #precisionag research, and networking at the 2023 @ASA_CSSA_SSSA Annual meeting in St. Louis this week. Always good to wrap it up with some awards. Congrats to Cole and Amrit. #ACSmtg @UGATifton @UGA_CollegeofAg @UGAEngineering

Always good to see former @UGADigitalAg team members and know they are doing well in their next chapter. Great time with some current and former graduate students at the ASA, CSSA, and SSSA annual meeting!! #ACSmtg #stlouis #precisionag @UGATifton @CropSoilUGA @UGAEngineering

Wrapping up #peanuts in our research plots for #plant23 this week. Great studies evaluating #precisionag technologies and their applications in modern agriculture. Time to move onto picking cotton!

Today we dug and inverted peanuts in our #spraytech studies in Tifton and rated them for diseases with the help of Mr. Zach Cromer and Dr. Albert Culbreath. We will be picking them (harvesting) sometime early next week!! #peanuts #digging @gapeanuts @CropSoilUGA @UGA_CollegeofAg

A great day of testing and data collection of cotton defoliation with spray drone and ground sprayer. Thanks to SEREC staff for all the help and @CottonInc for funding this work!! #cottondefoliation #spraydrones #groundsprayer #research23 @UGA_CollegeofAg @UGADigitalAg

[AU Precision Ag @AU_PrecisionAg]

Some preliminary continuous swath testing with @appinsightllc’s swath gobbler before we get nerdy with all the treatments and data collection!! #spraydrones #swathtesting #agtech #ugatifton @UGAResearch @UGA_CollegeofAg

[Cole Byers @ENGRTechCole]

Great weather for wrapping up #corn23 yesterday. Hopefully the good weather will continue as we move towards the finish line for cotton and peanuts!

[Cole Byers @ENGRTechCole]

Great to be able to speak about #spraydrones in #ag at the Southeast Georgia pecan field day in Baxley this morning. Lots of interest in the technology as a way to potentially increase spray coverage in the upper canopy of orchard crops. #precisionag

[Cole Byers @ENGRTechCole]

@AgGoesDigital Congrats Amrit! You’re going to do great!

[Matt Tucker @AgTechMatt]

Got our hands on a #DJI 3M. Looking into the capabilities of creating Rx maps for #spraydrone with multispectral imagery.

This is a sweet system for field scouting as well due to the real time VI’s on the controller. 40+ mins of flight time the capabilities are endless.

A hot and long day of spraying, spraying and some more spraying with boom sprayer and drones. Thankful for a good team that shows up everyday!! #fungicide #herbicide #groundvsdroneapplication #targetedsprayapplications #research23 #peanut #alleys #cleanup

[Simer Virk @PrecAgEngineer]

Data collection in one of our #onfarm #cotton #vrseeding studies today. Excited to put the learned information and technology to use in couple of these fields this year. Thanks to the @GACottonComm for funding, Curt Majeski and @DavisFamilyAg for their collaboration!! #gacotton

[Simer Virk @PrecAgEngineer]

A hot and busy day of learning about aerial fungicide applications in corn. Thankful for a great team and to everyone else who helped out today!! #tesearch23 #spraydrones #cropduster #fungicideapplication #corn #ugatifton #expofarm @UGA_CollegeofAg @CropSoilUGA @sunbeltagexpo

Congrats to Madan Sapkota (@Madansapkota7) for a successful MS thesis defense today. I am proud of his professional growth and accomplishments during these last two years. Also very thankful to his committee members and to @gapeanuts for funding his thesis research!! #jobwelldone @CropSoilUGA @UGA_CollegeofAg @UGADigitalAg
