Dr. Ramarao Venkatesh

My current research/teaching focus is in the area of precision/digital agriculture, On-Farm Trials, education abroad programs, distance education & teaching (HCS 2201 & AGSYSMT 2580), and App development. I was involved in OSU PLOTS ("Ohio State University Precision Led On-farm Trial Support") App development. The free app allows growers, as well as consultants and others who support growers, to design replicated plot layouts by creating on-farm trials that can compare hybrids, seeding populations, fertilizer rates, and nutrient management systems, among other practices and inputs. The App helps farmers and researchers to conduct statistical analysis of data from their on-farm research trials and store their trial information in the cloud.
