Abstract/Contents: | Profiles turfgrass research projects discussed at the 2007 meeting of the Crop Science Society of America, highlighting remote-sensing technology research. Defines remote sensing as "the science and art of obtaining information about an object, area, or phenomenon through the analysis of data acquired by a device that is not in contact with the object, area, or phenomenon under investigation." Explains that "this technology is widely used in production agriculture to improve yield (an easy-to-measure output). However, in golf turf management determining [the] yield, or goal, is not as easy, unless it simply is 'greenness.'" Concludes that "as superintendents are asked continually to do more with less such technology will reduce the need for 'rescue' treatments. Technological advancements typically alleviate monotonous tasks and allow for enhanced efficiency and increased reliance on knowledge and less on products." |
