Spring wheat yield and grain quality response to nitrogen rate

 Core Ideas

• Application of all N fertilizer at planting is not efficient for wheat.
• Nitrogen fertilizer rates for wheat should account for site- and year-specific conditions.
• When prescribing N rates to wheat, yield potential and responsiveness to N should be considered.
• Higher N rates resulted in enhanced grain protein content, but low N use efficiency.

Mott Award Honors Top Graduate Students

Congratulations to the students who are recipients of this year’s Gerald O. Mott Meritorious Graduate Student Award in Crop Science. This annual award recognizes top-notch graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in crop science disciplines. Departments select students based on academic achievements, research and teaching contributions, leadership accomplishments, service activities, and personal qualifications. Multiple students from one school may be recognized as these students represent their departments.

The award is named for the first CSSA President, Gerald O. Mott, who trained 75 graduate students during his 45-year career at Purdue University and the University of Florida. Many of his students have become eminent forage scientists in the United States and Latin America. The award is offered by CSSA.

Congratulations to Ms. Ritika Lamichhane, MS student, Graduate Research Assistant, Cropping Systems Agronomy program, University of Idaho, Parma R&E Center for receiving this prestigious award!
