This course is the capstone course in the Precision Agriculture Certificate. It will allow students to integrate knowledge from their specific subdiscipline with real-world precision agriculture solutions to increase the sustainability and production of crops. Students will learn advanced concepts in precision agriculture and how to analyze spatial and temporal variability in crop production. They will utilize a variety of data, ranging from satellite imagery, soil topography and soil properties, to understand and develop variable rate prescriptions for crop inputs. Finally, students will apply this knowledge in diverse teams that utilize discipline-specific knowledge to solve real-world precision agriculture problems. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 2 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): PLSC 202.3, and GEOG 222.3 or RRM 321.3. One of PLSC 214.3, STAT 245.3 or GE 210.3 is strongly recommended.
