Continuing research from the past two years, Bond and team aim to:
1) Extend greenhouse trials to better understand the relationship between SCN infestation and soybean phenology
2) Expand image analyses with both supervised and unsupervised classification methods
Resolving these last questions will help them calibrate remote sensing and AI models for a toolkit to help farmers and the industry better understand what SCN populations are doing in fields and improve management practices. To learn more about this checkoff funded research project, click here.
