I’m excited to share that today was my first day as International Visiting Fellow at CSIRO in Adelaide, South Australia! We’ll have an exciting few months working side-by-side with Kenton Porker and Therese McBeath , as well as with Victor Sadras and C. Mariano Cossani at SARDI, advancing agronomy and ecophysiology research! During this time here, I will also visit colleagues in other parts of the country including John Kirkegaard FAA in Canberra, to also work towards agenda of the Wheat Initiative Agronomy Expert Working Group.

I am very thankful to Grains Research and Development Corporation for the fellowship, as well as to Kansas State University for the sabbatical opportunity and support.

I looking forward to building relationships and learning from many colleagues here to bring new knowledge to our Kansas Wheat growers!

Can we predict winter yield based on in-season vegetation indices plus weather and management data? Check out our new publication on this topic using Kansas as a case study!

Great effort led by Rebecca Maranhao under the guidance of Marcellus Caldas and Jude Kastens and Romulo Lollato, funded by the Kansas Wheat
