Workshop: Potential Impact of Precision Agriculture Methods on Roots and Root Function
Workshop: Potential Impact of Precision Agriculture Methods on Roots and Root Function
Objective(s):
The purpose of this workshop is to explore how precision agriculture may influence root and soil properties and provide a conceptual framework to better understand how farming practices can improve the efficiency of resource use in horticulture.

Precision agricultural methods are being adopted in a growing number of agricultural crops, including some horticultural crops. However, little information is known about how variable rate nutrient and/or water use may impact root growth and soil properties (chemical and biological) that interact with roots and govern root function. The purpose of this workshop is to explore how precision agriculture may influence root and soil properties and provide a conceptual framework to better understand how farming practices can improve the efficiency of resource use in horticulture.
