November 5, 2009
University of Missouri (UM) researchers are studying on-the-go sensors that detect how much fertilizer a crop needs. The optical sensors send this information to a computer, which immediately applies the right amount and, in the process, helps growers be good stewards of the land.
In this video, UM's Kent Faddis takes a look at how sensors on tractors could save farmers money while benefiting the environment.
