Exciting strides in grain research! 🌽The National Grain Research Programme had their 3rd Annual Research Day, bringing together academia, industry, and gov't to tackle challenges in grains. From plant breeding to climate resilience, collaboration is key for thriving agriculture
📌 PhD Fully Funded Position in Aphid-Plant-Microbiome Interactions 🌱🦠🪲 at Wageningen University in the Netherlands 🇳🇱... Please share and spread the word! For details visit: wp.me/pbv48T-8BR
Yesterday, our FABI team honored Jackie Robinson Day in style, celebrating unity and breaking barriers. 🌟 Thanks to David Johnson and Anne Pringle for introducing us to this cherished American tradition when they visited last year! 🌭🍺⚾ #JackieRobinsonDay #Unity #FABIteam
🌽🔬🧫🧬New insights from our latest study on fungal diversity and mycotoxins in South African maize, focusing on key producing regions @Fabiteam1 @UPTuks @UPnasagric @CobusVisagie2 Here's a breakdown of our findings🧵: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @BritMycolSoc @BMS_Scientific
In closing at the Research Day for NGRP, the NGRP chair Jannie De Villiers reminded us that it's our responsibility as researchers and producers to keep the country well fed. @GrainSA @StellenboschUni ,@UPTuks , @UFSweb
Matthew Jackson shared his research work, very crucial research in the grain industry of South Africa. @Fabiteam1 , @UPnasagric , @GrainSA
I am so grateful for the opportunity to present part of my PhD work at the National Grain Research Programme Research Day. It was a great platform to learn, network and share scientific knowledge with seasoned scientist and fellow students. @UPnasagric , @Fabiteam1 ,@GrainSA
Day 3 at the National Grain Research Programme Research Day, @NickyCreux enlightened us through her talk titled - re- evaluating planting windows in a changing environment for climate resilience. @Fabiteam1 @UPnasagric @GrainSA
Enlightening talk on maize production in South Africa by @Gert Ceronio. Highlighted are factors that contributed to the increase in maize yield during those years. Positive results from continuous research @UFSweb , @GrainSA , @StellenboschUni , @UPTuks
Another talk from Prof Oberholster C, great insights. The components of multistakeholder partnership are legislation, genetic resources, techniques, social aspects, and financing and funding.... Communication is important. @GrainSA @UFSweb @UPTuks @StellenboschUni
Day 2 of NGRP at UFS Bloemfontein, @CobusVisagie2 giving a talk on disease diagnostic clinic work done @Fabiteam1 @UPnasagric . Great work being done to keep our grain crops healthy and ensuring food security
First talk by Cobus Oberholster, quite fascinating topic. There are things we are not going to change in plant breeding and never get stuck, so he said. Looking forward to more thought provoking talks from @UPTuks , @UFSweb , @StellenboschUni.
National Grain Research Programme 3rd Annual meeting hosted by the University of Free State 3-5 Apr. The Grain Research Programme is a multistakeholder programme established to support industry and government with research and innovation. Prof V. Reddy gave a warm welcome note.
