Statement of Problem            
               
Do fungicides improve wheat yields in eastern Kansas
             
Project Objectives            
               
Using GPS to track where and when fungicide is applied to document any yield increase or decrease and to see if this is economically profitable.
             
Methodology              
               
Use Sitemaite to track when and where fungicide is applied (do replication if possible) Use Yield monitor to gather yield data – import into EasiSuite to analyze data using IntelliCalc. I hope to be able to use a weigh wagon to see if there is correlation between combine monitor and the weigh wagon.
             
Expected outcome / Benefit to KARA          
To teach members the fastest and easiest way to work with the software and hardware. To find out if fungicides do affect final yield, using the IntelliCalc program within EasiSuite. Help those starting out using GPS and KARA members learn from our experiences
