[00:00:00.000]The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Biological Systems Engineering Department hosted the Future of BSE Days on March 28th in Lincoln and Scottsbluff.
[00:00:09.640]Xin Qiao, Nebraska Extension Irrigation Water Management Specialist at the Panhandle Research Extension and Education Center, said the focus of the conference was communication.
[00:00:20.460]Just trying to, you know, show our students and showcase our work and let people know more about us,
[00:00:28.600]and also inviting folks in the Panhandle to join a departmental discussion that is happening in Lincoln,
[00:00:36.360]which we're hoping different perspectives will help us shape the future of the department.
[00:00:43.840]Weizhen Liang, UNL Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering,
[00:00:50.240]has students working with her on a lawn watering project.
[00:00:53.420]Philipine Andjawo, her student, explains how the project will aid residential lawns in saving water.
[00:00:59.960]The project is just helping homeowners be able to monitor the water on their lawn.
[00:01:10.320]Like, is it wet? Is it enough water? Is there enough water for it or not?
[00:01:17.260]So, well...
[00:01:19.400]That's it?
[00:01:20.200]That's what it looks like right now.
[00:01:24.240]That's our new design. There's another design.
[00:01:26.900]but this is the new design, and they have a sensor that they put in the soil,
[00:01:32.720]help them get the readings from the soil, if it has enough water or not.
[00:01:41.940]And this actually is a model printed by one of our colleagues.
[00:01:53.580]Building on previous work, Laing's team has a new project, using a thermal camera to gather information.
[00:01:59.200]Graduate student Joseph Oboama explained how the camera will aid growers.
[00:02:03.280]This will be added to basically detect the temperature of the crops,
[00:02:08.080]because we can use this to detect early stress of the crops,
[00:02:14.820]and then with that, we will be able to give farmers an early stress indicator for their crops,
[00:02:21.780]so that they will be able to go into the soil.
[00:02:23.380]So that's what we're doing.
[00:02:23.460].
[00:02:23.560]Either they have to give the crops more water, or if it is something else,
[00:02:30.800]then with that, they will get good yield at the end of the day by getting the crops what they need.
[00:02:40.400]Qiao says the event aims to engage with stakeholders to help share the department's future in research, extension, and education.
[00:02:47.920]With the Panhandle Research Extension and Education Center, I'm Chabela Guzman.
