Dr. Arnall’s extension, teaching, and research efforts are focused on nutrient management in all of Oklahoma’s cropping systems with an emphasis in site specific techniques.  He works closely with extension educators and industry personnel to improve nutrient management practices in Oklahoma that will lead to increased profitability of Oklahoma producers.  He currently has several on going studies that are focused at developing methods to use sensor based technologies in cotton production.  Also being researched is the comparison of N management strategies at a large scale and the evaluation of products which are on the market in Oklahoma.
