The DART Lab participated in the Governor’s Conference on the Future of Water in Kansas, held today in Manhattan, Kansas.

The conference brought together individuals from across the state to discuss water resources, research, and the future of water in Kansas.

We’re glad to be... part of these conversations and connect with others working toward the future of Kansas water resources!

🌱🚜 Saturday at Ag Ville 2026!

We had a great time exploring interactive agriculture exhibits at Bramlage Coliseum, connecting with the community, and sharing the importance of agriculture in our daily lives. 🌽🌾

More than just a work team, we are a great family doing science together. Proud of the DART lab team! 🔬🤝🌱

The DART Lab at Kansas State University is pleased to share an overview of the Drought-Resilient Alfalfa Production (D-RAP) project, led by Ph.D. candidate Sourajit Dey (@sourajit_deyy).
This research evaluates alfalfa responses to different irrigation levels based on crop evapotranspiration ...conducted in Manhattan, Kansas. The project aims to advance drought-resilient and water-efficient alfalfa production by integrating proximal and remote-sensing tools to improve crop water use assessment and irrigation management under limited-water conditions.
The D-RAP project is supported by the USDA NIFA Alfalfa Seed and Alfalfa Forage System Program and North Central Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (NCR-SARE).
Watch the video to learn more about the ongoing research work at the DART Lab.

A special day for @ksuagronomy ! Celebrating the ribbon cutting of the new Agronomy Innovation Center today. Excited for the research, teaching, collaboration, and innovation that will grow from this space.

Day at the Field! 🌽🚜

We had the opportunity to welcome military personnel from different parts of the world to KSU for a field day focused on precision agriculture. During the event, we demonstrated how advanced sensors and precision agriculture technologies are used to monitor ...crops, collect high-quality data, and support more efficient and sustainable agricultural management.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special event.
