Research Projects

Designing and teaching a course for agricultural consultants.

This project was aimed at determining potassium doses (5 doses) to apply before planting on nitrogen-fertigated cucumber crops grown on plastic mulch.

The aim of this project was to study the relationship between thermal imaging data collected by drone and agrometerological indicators of water stress in potato crops.

The aim of this project was to leverage the efficiency of drip irrigation and splitting nitrogen inputs into multiple applications to reduce total nitrogen inputs per unit produced and provide better economic and environmental alternatives to conventional irrigation.

The goal of this project was to measure the impact of irrigation management on nitrogen uptake and available soil nitrogen on several cultivars under commercial production conditions.

The aim of this project is to evaluate this aspect of potato production economics to assist producers and their advisors.

The purpose of the project was to develop techniques and tools for maintaining paper mulch during crop growth.

To manage clogging risks, the project automated pumping based on water turbidity and cover the filter to prevent light from entering the water and thus reduce algal bloom. 

The aim of the project was to measure the performance and water requirements of eight potato cultivars under commercial production conditions.

The project consisted of manufacturing and testing a portable rain simulator to estimate, under various conditions, what proportion of irrigation water a crop is able to use.

The aim of this project was to set up a support service to equip producers and others in the industry to improve their irrigation management.
