Attached photos from #wheat field at College Station, TX is a great example of how #climate change can affect our #Food #crops. Taller #genotypes were more injured from #winterstorm2021 compared to the short ones. @AgriLife @TexasWheat @uswheatassoc @ASA_CSSA_SSSA @tamusoilcrop

A reminder to myself for the next bug. The way to solve most code problems = high school math, minimal reproducible examples, & 3+ snacks. Oh and look at the NAs.

New @AgronomyJournal research finds early season canopy reflectance measurements (NDVI) is a useful tool for choosing to apply in-season #nitrogen to malting #barley. Read more about the @UCDavisPlants & @tsnelsen study in CSA News: https://t.co/ucuTcxK7NM 📸: Mark Lundy

Enjoying all the insights, comments and paper suggestions I’m getting from my co-authors while putting together our manuscript for a large group project. Read about N cycling in tomatoes this morning ( https://t.co/vXityk3T1V) and added one sentence to the current draft. 😂

How farming systems supply sufficient nitrogen (N) for high yields but with reduced N losses is a central challenge for reducing the tradeoffs often associated with N cycling in agriculture. Variab...

Seeding rate is an essential consideration for growers that changes each year with seed size and field conditions. Our seeding rate calculator does all the heavy lifting of calculating seeding rate for California small grains!
