Plant Breeding: Compare varieties and stress treatments in breeding
- Corn/maize: Stand counts, height, growth curves, drought and heat resistance
- Cotton: Yield, earliness, seedling vigor, drought tolerance, plant height
- Sorghum: Biomass yield, grain yield, growth patterns, plant height, sugarcane aphids
- Wheat: Stress tolerance, disease resistance, yield potential
- Tomatoes, Peppers, Citrus, Spinach: canopy cover, greenness index
- Rice: stand count, height, stress, grain yield
Agronomy: Identify differences and needs in management directly applicable to farmers
- Weed Science: Identify herbicide-resistant and other weeds, spray injury from herbicide application
- Cotton: Assess cotton defoliation timing, nutrient optimization, irrigation timing and cotton root rot
- Wheat: Measure wheat rust and diseases pressure
- Soils: Identify management of stress across different soil types and stress
- Entomology: Insect stress detection in large acreage systems; measure insect damage in plants that have been inoculated with different fungi
- Plant Physiology: Oxidative stress prevention; irrigation and nutrient optimization
Animal and Pasture: Improve economic and environmental sustainability of pastures for crop and livestock production
- Rangeland/Pastureland Management: measure herbage mass, canopy cover, animal (livestock and wildlife) counts, nutritive value, weed encroachment, herding, scouting, etc.
- Animal Science: track the health status, behavior, feed-conversion performance, environmental stress, and biosecurity threats of livestock
