Kentucky State University was awarded a three-year, $599,014 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the 1890 Institution Capacity Building Grants program. The university will conduct agricultural research and provide education and outreach focused on improving soybean yield and quality in the United States. Research will evaluate the effects of different levels and timing of late-season nitrogen fertilizer application and biochar soil amendments on soybean growth, biological nitrogen fixation, yield, and seed composition. High-throughput aerial phenotyping technologies will also be tested to determine the most effective sensors, data collection methods, and indices for measuring various soybean traits over multiple growth stages. Outreach and training activities are planned to disseminate knowledge of aerial phenotyping tools to agricultural researchers, extension agents, and farmers. The goal is to identify optimal nitrogen management practices and new monitoring technologies to enhance soybean production and quality.
