		Press Releases	Download GreenSeeker.rtf     GreenSeeker' Heralds New Day for Oklahoma, World By Donald Stotts STILLWATER, Okla. - Yesterday's science fiction has become today's science fact at Oklahoma State University: "smart" machines that essentially play the role of a doctor, analyzing symptoms and administering proper treatments to promote healthy crops and the best possible yields. The research breakthrough by Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station scientists was unveiled during ceremonies at OSU's Noble Research Center Oct. 15, as was the announcement that a new high-tech business based on that research will open in Stillwater ? the first of several in Oklahoma. "Our team of researchers are the world leaders in this new technology, they've done things that 10 years ago were not even imagined," said D.C. Coston, OAES associate director. "This is truly a landmark development, and has the potential to solve the world food problem." It is such a turning point that Norman Borlaug, the only Nobel Peace More CONTACT: Donald Stotts Agricultural Communications Services 100 Public Information Bldg.

			Download High Tech OK.rtf     NTech Brings New High-Tech to Oklahoma By Donald Stotts STILLWATER, Okla. - NTech Industries, Inc. is coming to Oklahoma, opening up new national and international opportunities for the Sooner State's high-tech business sector. The agricultural company will manufacture GreenSeeker, a variable rate sprayer developed by a team of Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station scientists at Oklahoma State University. "The technology that OSU has created is a revolution in the way chemicals are applied to a wheat field, particularly fertilizers," said John Mayfield, CEO of NTech. GreenSeeker employs new sensor technology that allows it to dispense fertilizer on a wheat crop only where it is needed. The sensors can be mounted on new or existing sprayers, anywhere in the world, and soon will be available for other cereal crops in addition to wheat. In effect, GreenSeeker uses its sensors to give plants a physical, write prescriptions and deliver the proper fertilizer "medication" in fractions of a second as it travels across the field. Thus, the sprayer can apply variable rates of fertilizer, where needed, instead of applying the same, average amount over an entire field. More.
