A team of Clemson University researchers is working to show how Intelligent Water and Nutrient Placement (IWNP) can help farmers increase profits while minimizing effects of agricultural practices on the environment.
The team, led by irrigation specialist Jose Pavero, received a $453,405 grant from USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture to develop technologies farmers can use to manage nutrients and water applied to crops through overhead irrigation systems.
IWNP uses smart sensing and model-based decision support systems that can be readily adopted by farmers on both small and large scales making it easier and cost-effective for farmers to apply irrigation water and nutrients.
