A new study at the station this summer is using UAV aerial imagery to look at canopy closure in our USDA Edamame Project at Virginia Tech plots. We are using a MicaSense, Inc. RedEdge multispectral sensor affixed to a DJI Matrice 100.
Congratulations to our Food Science and Technology undergradute students Sophie Pinton, Wenying Zhang, Michaela Foster, Kyle Adie, and Sydney Studioso for their awards and scholarships!
They have been assisting our PhD students Dajun Yu and Renata Carneiro in our edamame project at Virginia Tech and last week won the following awards: * Sophie Pinton - Cameron Hackney Memorial Enrichment Award and FST Outstanding Senior * Wenying Zhang - Boyd - Arline Award and Harvey Scott Scolarship * Michaela Foster - Marvin Poster Memorial Scholarship * Kyle Adie - W.C. Collins Scholarship * Sydney Studioso - FST Achievement Award Huge thanks to WDBJ7 for the coverage!

https://www.wdbj7.com/content/news/Grown-Here-at-Home-Virginia-Tech-researchers-playing-key-role-in-US-edamame-production-507990941.html We are recruiting volunteers who are 18 years or older to participate in our acceptability study of edamame! Participants will be asked to view, smell, and taste edamame samples, describe their impressions, and complete a survey. Next sessions will be on March 18 and 20 (9:00am - 3:00pm) at VT Sensory Evaluation Lab (HABB1 205, 1230 Washington St SW).
Edamame project appears on VT news. "Virginia Tech research team works across disciplines to boost U.S. edamame production" https://vtnews.vt.edu/articles/2018/10/cals-edamame.html |
