Three seminars are scheduled this week in Hardin Hall, beginning with the School of Natural Resources Seminar Series on Wednesday, Oct. 17. The Geography and Applied Ecology seminar series’ will both host talks on Friday, Oct. 19.
On Wednesday, Stamatis Stamatiadis—director of the Soil Ecology & Biotechnology Laboratory at the Gaia Environmental Research and Education Center in Athens, Greece—will present "An EU-Funded Project for Demonstrating Concepts and Technologies of Precision Agriculture" in the Hardin Hall auditorium at 3:30 p.m.
Stamantiadis, an adjunct professor in UNL's Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, will discuss the "Hydrosense Project" which employed "precision agriculture for integrated crop management." The result was a significant savings in irrigation and chemicals.
