Uses biodegradable coatings from sweetpotato waste and essential oils to extend the shelf life.
The LSU AgCenter scientists have introduced a breakthrough solution for feral pig control, offering a hog bait and toxicant composition.
A cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to protect engineered wood products from fire, water, and biological damage.
Uses advanced lighting techniques and algorithms to capture high-resolution images of soybeans, giving insights into their color, shape and texture.
This transparent protective film, applied through a dipping process, ensures plant durability and achieves superior seed quality.
A video system that combines an RGB camera and advanced algorithms to revolutionize sugarcane cultivation management.
Our LSU AgCenter scientists have designed a revolutionary adapter to help farmers overcome the high capital equipment expenses of sugarcane planting.
LSU AgCenter scientists have created a new rice seed treatment to fight against disease and more effective than fungicides leading to higher crop yields.
LSU AgCenter scientists have developed seed treatment for soybean diseases.
This a new infill material for artificial turfgrass made from recycled products.
This technology is an automatic irrigation management controller for potted nursery plants. The system includes simple sensors and logic units that deliver an appropriate amount of water based on soil water holding capacity. The system automatically shuts off irrigation after the soil becomes moistened to its capacity. Proper irrigation improves plant root and shoot growth and helps reduce the prevalence of diseases. It also reduces the loss of beneficial nutrients into the environment.
LSU AgCenter scientists have developed pretreatment methods to protect rice against major pathogens, such as Burkholderia glumae, and consequently prevent the development of serious rice diseases, such as panicle blight. Plants would not normally be able to tolerate the infection by certain types of pathogens. However, these pretreatments increase a plant’s pathogen resistance and subsequently allow it to survive the infection process. This will limit losses due to disease and improve yield.
AgCenter scientists have invented a new decision support system to improve irrigation scheduling and the quality of harvested sweet potatoes. The system maximizes the number of sweet potato storage roots through the use of a small group of solar-powered sensors. It can also determine proper irrigation rates and schedules and forecast potential yield to profitability. The system’s data is accessible through mobile phones, web-based applications and text messages to maximize convenience.
AgCenter scientists have discovered a novel use for rice hulls as a biofiltration medium. The high amount of surface area, low carbon content and unique shape promote the growth of bacteria that degrade pollutants. Because rice hulls are waste materials, they are readily available and affordable for use. In addition, their high silica content prevents them from degrading quickly.
This invention is a new type of glue made from soybeans. Wu Glue uses a unique combination of biological materials to give it a great deal of strength and water resistance. It also does not contain harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, urea and phenols. The product is green, biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it a product manufacturers can stick with for a long time to come.
