Unmanned Aircraft in Agriculture: Pest Management & Flight Performance

Join us for the seventh in our series of yearlong webinars.

In this webinar, you will learn how your colleagues are using Unmanned Aircraft Systems for agricultural research with implications for on farm applications.




Using Unmanned Aircraft for Insect and Disease Management:

Dr. Ian MacRae of The University of Minnesota, Crookston will report on using remote sensing mounted on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS or drones) to determine the within-field distribution of insects and plant disease in various agricultural cropping systems.

Unmanned Aircraft Flight Performance for Agricultural Missions:

Dr. Wayne Woldt of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and UAS in Ag Learning Network Project Lead will then provide a summary of  fixed wing UAS performance measures for predefined flight paths, indicated air speed (IAS), and altitude (MSL).

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives. 

This technology is supported in part by New Technologies for Ag Extension (funding opportunity no. USDA-NIFA-OP-010186), grant no. 2023-41595-41325 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
