California Ag 20/20 Project – Developing Remote Sensing Aids for Cotton

J.C. Ojala and B.A. Roberts

ABSTRACT

The Ag 20/20 Project is a cooperative, multidisciplinary program comprised of a large and diverse group of producer, agribusiness, extension, and research cooperators. The goal of the project is to develop and apply geospatial and remote sensing technologies to cotton production and cotton field management practices in California. In 2003, multispectral and hyperspectral remote imagery was collected on over 2,200 acres of cotton on 17 fields in two site locations: Sheely Farm near Lemoore and the Shafter Research and Extension Center in Shafter. Principal investigators used the imagery and other field data to conduct eleven different research trials on the project and to use remote sensing to estimate a diverse variety of agronomic conditions for cotton. Detailed reports on several of the research field trials, including Research Projects #3, #4 and #8, are presented elsewhere within these proceedings. A field day was held on July 24, 2003 on the Sheely Farm where field seminars and commercial exhibitions demonstrated new research information and technologies for cotton production.
