Wrapping up another great year at the 2025 CANVAS Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah! Our team attended, presented research, received awards, and built new connections with people from around the world. #CANVAS2025

🚨#BookChapterAlert 📚Our team is excited to share our new chapter published in the Advances in Agronomy book series! 💡In this chapter, we discuss how digital agricultural technologies and AI are transforming agronomic decision-making! 🔗Read here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨#ArticleAlert Our recent publication explored how plant N status influences key physiological and yield formation processes to better understand maize’s ability to tolerate temporary N deficiencies without yield penalties. 📖Read the full paper here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lvcs47-DaBA…

🚨ArticleAlert! Our recent paper investigates how weather, soil, and management factors shape soybean productivity and quality (seed protein and oil concentration) across 13 U.S. states. 📖 Read the full article here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🌱Our team is studying how cover crops affect soybean and corn yield and soil health, while also exploring aerial vs. drill seeding for establishment.

🚨#ArticleAlert 🌍 Climate change is not only about hotter days – nights are warming even faster. Thrilled to announce our new publication in Field Crops Research, where we analyzed how warmer nights impact global food crops. 📚Read the paper here: lnkd.in/g6bnAWdy

Congratulations to @bosche_leonardo for receiving the 2025 Fall @NationalCorn Graduate Student Scholarship! Leonardo has been working and leading many corn research projects over the past few years, and we’re proud to have him on our team. Keep up the hard work, Leo! 👏🌽

🚨#ArticleAlert 📖 This paper is our team’s effort to raise that awareness and call for action, linking science, management, and policy to secure more resilient crops. 🔗 Read the entire paper: lnkd.in/gq88yFkK

🌽Corn in our research plots has entered the reproductive phase! Last week, our team was out in the field collecting ear samples to explore how nitrogen dilution patterns differ between tall and short stature corn. #Cornresearch #Nmanagement #Ndilution

This season, we’ve been collecting data to explore N stress in corn using the SVC hyperspectral sensor. This work is part of my PhD research at Purdue University, excited to explore how high-resolution spectral data can improve our understanding of N deficiencies in corn.

Working on Geospatial data, AI, and Agroecosystems? We invite you to submit abstracts to our session B049 at #AGU25 (agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prel…) organized by @CiampittiLab (Purdue), @DucPhuong_Dao (Colorado State), Shuo Chen (Purdue), and me (Stanford).

We’ve completed two more samplings on our corn plots over the last few weeks. So far, we’ve collected a wide range of data, including soil, biomass, and sensing measuremts. A few more rounds of samplings are planned before final harvest.

This week, we’re excited to welcome Dr. Martín Díaz-Zorita and a group of researchers, students, and farmers from Argentina to Purdue! We’re spending the week touring the ACRE fields and sharing research. It’s a great opportunity for exchange, collaboration, and new ideas. 🌱🧪

🚨#Articlealert By isolating N sources through the use of non-nodulating soybean genotypes, we developed - for the first time - a true critical N dilution curve for soybeans, following the methodology previously established for non-N-fixing crops. 🔗link.springer.com/article/10.100…

#ArticleAlert🚨 In this review, we analyze over 32,000 US patents granted between 2014 and 2024 to understand the evolution of technologies in agriculture—particularly those related to precision agriculture. 🔗Read the paper: lnkd.in/gCS8DSK9

Here’s a look at the Apple Vision Pro in action! 📹 Our students are using it in the field to collect visual and spatial wheat data 📊 🔔This is just the beginning, stay tuned for what’s next! #AppleVisionPro #WheatResearch #AgTech #Fieldwork

In addition to the usual image data collection on wheat, we used the revolutionary Apple Vision Pro (AVP) We are taking advantage of the numerous embedded sensors and processing capabilities of the AVP to collect visual and spatial data of wheat @ICiampitti @IDAASPurdue @Apple

🌽 NEW RESEARCH PUBLISHED! Our MSc. Student Pedro Cisdeli just presented "Maize Ear Sensing for On-Farm Yield Predictions" at #CVPR2025 Vision for Agriculture workshop! ✨ What we did: Non-destructive yield prediction before harvest using depth maps + AI models
