Closing the yield gap with technology

University of Illinois' Fred Below at 2013 InfoAg ConferenceUniversity of Illinois crop physiologist Fred Below emphatically told InfoAg participants that the key to higher yields is precision technology.

Below led several sessions at the conference and later visited with Brownfield Ag News. He says a combined systems approach where growers can make use of precision ag technology will help enhance those systems. On the corn plant side, he says it’s all about more plants. For soybeans, he says, fertility is a widely overlooked factor.

In the world of precision ag, Below says, there are a lot of opportunities to increase crop yields.
