Highlighting an agronomist’s work in the state
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - On Tuesday's Home Grown report, we highlight Dr. Bhupinder Singh's work within the state.
Dr. Singh is an assistant professor and agronomist at the University of Arizona who is studying how to best use Arizona's landscape for agriculture.
Singh is using new technology to see how crops react to new products. The LI-COR 6800 can help growers determine exactly when to apply certain products.
"My position as an agronomist is to understand all of these crops and how well they can grow in Arizona, and how well we can improve our management practice," Singh says.
Singh works throughout the entire state, including Yuma, focusing on different crops such as romaine lettuce and even water retention.
