Abstract
Description
eFields is a program at The Ohio State University dedicated to advancing production agriculture through the use of fieldscale research. The 2023 eFields Report is a culmination of the research conducted over the past year on partner farms throughout Ohio. Current research is focused on precision nutrient management strategies and technologies to improve efficiency of fertilizer placement, enable on-farm evaluation, automate machine functionality, enhance placement of pesticides and seed, and to develop analytical tools for digital agriculture.
eFields has expanded from 39 on-farm research sites in 13 counties in 2017, to 95 on-farm research sites covering 25 counties in 2018, 88 on-farm research sites in 30 counties in 2019, 218 on-farm research sites in 39 counties in 2020, 249 on-farm research sites in 45 counties in 2021, and 292 trials in 49 counties in 2022.
