Improving nitrogen use efficiency in cereal crops using a nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) obtained by remote sensing. Mark E. Lundy
Next Thursday, 10 July, a new research seminar will take place at CEIGRAM. The seminar will be available online and in person in the CEIGRAM conference room at 12:30 p.m. The seminar will be held in English.
Recent advances in the fields of agronomy, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence have opened new avenues for integrating globally scalable measurements with agronomic models and providing information for precise nitrogen management. Together with his research group, they are developing image-based models that predict the biomass and nitrogen content of wheat and triticale in absolute terms, contextualised with critical nitrogen dilution curves. These UAV-based models show transferability to satellite measurements and provide new insights for agronomic management, environmental outcomes, and genetic selection.
Mark Lundy is an Agricultural Engineer and Associate Professor of Cooperative Extension in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of California, Davis, where he leads applied research and outreach activities on cereal crop systems in the state of California. He has extensive experience in agricultural systems and farmer decision-making, including precision nitrogen management, plant and soil sensing technologies, nitrogen and carbon cycling, and genotype-environment-management interactions. He works with a wide range of stakeholders and partners, including farmers, agricultural consultants, policymakers, and fellow scientists, to develop and deliver user-driven agricultural innovations.
