Science begins with teamwork🤩🤞. Today’s leaf tissue collection for metabolomic analysis was smoother thanks to Shishir, our new grad student, yusa, kanu & mayank. Very warm welcome to the journey, Shishir Kanti Talukder🤞🙏👏 #CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram Krishna Jagadish Impa Somayanda

Mayank & Alondra captured gas-exchange data across plots with different planting densities, grown under rainfed condi., & treated with nano-fertilizers. Curious2see how density×nutrition×drought shape cotton physiology!🤞🙌🙌🥳 #CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram Krishna Jagadish

Today we celebrated the retirement of our farm manager, Paul Green, after 20 years of dedicated service to Texas Tech University. Paul has been an incredible support to our #CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram🙏. Congratulations, Paul, and best wishes for your next chapter! 🎉 Krishna Jagadish

Adequate irrigation + split N boosts sorghum yield & grain quality (EAAs & protein). Yet, high residual N reveals untapped potential for improving N remobilization to grains🙌. doi.org/10.1002/cche.7… 😍😍#CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram Krishna Jagadish Impa Somayanda Troy Ostmeyer

Congratulations Shishir Kanti Talukder on winning the first place at the Davis College graduate student poster competition 🎉👏 Well done!!

🎉 Excited to share that I won 1st place🥇in the Davis College Graduate Student Poster Competition. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Impa for giving me this amazing research and to Dr. Krishna for this opportunity. Impa Somayanda Krishna Jagadish Saini DK

Today’s shovelomics day - busy digging sorghum roots from our irrigation × nitrogen trials. Big shout-out to Evelyn, Yusa, Kanu, Nicho, Tola, & Mayank for their fantastic effort in the field. Great teamwork! 🙌🙏🙏👏 #CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram Krishna Jagadish Impa Somayanda

The SAP never fails 2 amaze - a true showcase of global diversity & trait variation🤩 We got the idea late in the season but managed to collect samples in 1 marathon day (9.5 h straight). Incredible teamwork! 👏🙏🙌 #CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram Krishna Jagadish Impa Somayanda

Yusa has set up a photo studio in our sample processing room🥳🙏👏, now busy taking panicle images & ground-truth data, while Luis and Kanu r busy processing cotton samples for fiber quality🥳🙌🙏 Thanks 2 All🙌🙏👏👏 #CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram Krishna Jagadish Impa Somayanda

We said farewell to our amazing summer interns: Evelyn, Luis, and Nico.🙌🙏Your hard work, enthusiasm, & teamwork made a real impact👏. Grateful to have had you on board, & wishing you all the success ahead! 🙌🙏#CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram Krishna Jagadish Impa Somayanda
