Opportunity exists to enhance Extension educational efforts across a variety of field crops through expanded use of digital photography. Potential applications include, but are not limited to, growing season problems in grain, forage and horticultural crops. Benefits include time savings in problem diagnosis, increased user and client understanding, and an expanded library of digital photos for educational use. Funding was received during the spring of 1999 to explore the use of digital cameras for diagnosing field crop problems. UW-Extension Self-Directed Team(s) Grain, Forage and Horticulture are cooperating in this project.
