Near-infrared calibration of soluble stem carbohydrates for predicting drought tolerance in spring wheat

Soluble stem carbohydrates are a component of drought response in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other grasses. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) can rapidly assay for soluble carbohydrates indirectly, but this requires a statistical model for …

Perennial wheat lines have highly admixed population structure and elevated rates of outcrossing

Perennial wheat has been proposed to alleviate long standing issues with soil erosion in annual cropping systems, while supporting rural communities and providing grain farmers with a marketable climate-resilient crop. The Washington State University …

Building supportive networks among agricultural innovators through a symposium on dryland organic farming

Extension can play a valuable role by bringing together those who are pioneering innovative practices. We planned, built, and evaluated an Extension symposium on dryland organic agriculture. Post-symposium evaluations indicated that this process …
