In this week’s episode of FarmBits Podcast, Dr. Joshua McGrath, University of Kentucky Department of Plant and Soil Sciences extension associate professor, joins podcast hosts Samantha Teten and Jackson Stansell to discuss sensors and share his perspective on nutrient application challenges and the technologies that are best suited to solve those challenges. McGrath highlights the theory behind active sensor operation, the versions of active sensors on the market, research that has been conducted in several regions to determine the efficacy of active sensors, and the realities of using active sensors to improve nitrogen use efficiency in farm operations.
