Troy Magney, Dept. of Plant Sciences, is using methods such as hyperspectral imaging – a remote sensing technique – to measure plant water stress, nutrient status, biomass, and photosynthesis in order to make informed decisions about water and fertilizer management. This is important for global agriculture in the future.
Troy Magney, a new assistant professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at UC Davis, works in the area of remote sensing and plant and environmental informatics. He most recently worked in the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab at Caltech.
