Technology and agriculture go hand in hand these days, but computer programming is not a common ag class. Don Johnson, University Professor of agricultural education, communications and technology, showed that ag students unfamiliar with coding were successful using ChatGPT to program a microcontroller commonly used in precision agriculture tasks. Co-authors on the research included University of Arkansas Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural Food and Life Sciences faculty members Will Doss and Chris Estepp. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gpn5yQMC U of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture #Arkansas #Agriculture #Education #Technology

We conduct research and achieve scientific discoveries that benefit Arkansans and beyond. Public research for all.
About us
The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station is the state’s premier research agency for agriculture, food and natural resources. We are the research arm of the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, one of the 20 institutions in the University of Arkansas System. Agricultural producers and processors look to the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station for research-proven technology. Through site-specific research under local conditions, we help Arkansans in the food and fiber sector adopt new practices that are appropriate for their circumstances. We also conduct extensive research on environmental and quality of life issues and count Arkansas families and communities among our stakeholders. Our mission is to conduct research and achieve scientific discoveries that benefit Arkansas citizens, expand agricultural sustainability and profitability, promote environmental stewardship, strengthen local and state economies and ensure safe and nutritious food supply.

Samuel Kreinberg is a graduate assistant the University of Arkansas Department of Horticulture studying turfgrass science. His research focuses on large patch disease, a fungal disease that affects lawns. As part of his work, Kreinberg uses a drone with a thermal camera to map the disease and track its progress through different seasons. Large patch disease spikes in the spring and fall and affects all warm-season turfgrasses but is especially problematic in zoysiagrass. Kreinberg has found that the disease recurs in the same spot every year. Kreinberg is a certified remote pilot for small unmanned aircraft systems and has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and statistics.

A new dataset is providing a bird’s-eye view of Arkansas’ forests 1 meter at a time. Hamdi A. Zurqani has developed the first high-resolution forest canopy cover dataset for an entire state, providing valuable insights for forest management and conservation to a major economic sector in Arkansas. Until now, the most common forest measurements and datasets have come from satellite imagery at 30-meter spatial resolution. This detailed information is crucial for tracking forest health, as canopy cover is essential for carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat and water regulation.
