Crop researchers receive funds
By ALISON YOUNG
Cotton may be king in Kansas someday.
Researchers in the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Project, which received $191,000 in the $758 billion catch-all spending bill passed by Confrontation Day, are looking at the possibility of delay crops for this state and Nebraska.
The KU Remote Sensing Laboratory is in Nichols Hall
Laboratory is in Nichols Hall. "In Nebraska this means vegetable crops." Jim Merchant, a member of the project, said yesterday. "In Kansas we're looking at cotton and sunflowers."
The project uses computers to
compile and analyze information, from satellites and other sources, about soil types, climate, terrain and market proximity. Merchant said.
He said part of the project was looking at the suitability of land in Kansas and Nebraska for the production of alternative crops. These are crops other than wheat, corn and sorghum, which are traditionally grown in the two states.
Alternative crop research is part of a joint project between the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Most of the project's other research relates to agriculture, Merchant said.
Merchant said the research really didn't have any short-term applications.
In addition, the project is researching biological productivity and the impact of drought.
The drought project consists of working on a model for forecasting and assessing the effect of drought in the Midwest, he said.
Remote sensing at KU uses information from the Landsat satellite, which takes an image of the Earth every 16 days. The satellite can map the types of crops in an area.
The money allocated to KU on Friday is for the second year of a proposed three-year project. Last year, KU received about $200,000.
