Program: Small grains and oilseeds
Supervising professor: Extension – Larry Redmon academic – Amir Ibrahim
Research focus: Using UAVs for high-throughput phenotyping in wheat
Extension duties:
I support the small grains and oilseed producers in Texas through collaboration with the Wheat Uniform Variety Trial (UVT), Uniform Forage Trial (UFT), and county agents, and by researching better management practices. We work with wheat, and alternative crops such as canola and barley. I am working to bring UAV technology to Extension as a platform to assist in the management of small grains acreage in Texas.
