Research

Our lab strives to develop agronomic management strategies aimed at enhancing the productivity, profitability, and resilience of cropping systems

 
To make cropping systems productive, resilient, and profitable, it is essential to identify local agronomic constraints and understand the interactions of crops, soils, and the environment (G x E x M interactions). The overall goal of our lab is to provide agronomic solutions in the context of modern farming practices, climatic patterns, and economic conditions.
