- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) has awarded a $650,000 project grant to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center to conduct multi-year trials on 12 cover crop species integrated with corn production. The research aims to gain an improved understanding of the variation in root traits across diverse cover crop species and their influence on soil and cash crops. The project will leverage advanced root phenomics, sensing technologies, and...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $300,000.00 and provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, aims to conduct greenhouse and laboratory research to evaluate the growth, developmental, and genetic basis of spring wheat response to multigenerational exposure to weed competition. The key objectives are to: (i) assess growth and developmental changes in wheat, (ii) evaluate hormonal...
- This $111,964 project grant awarded by the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (CFDA 10.912) will allow Clemson University researchers to compare the performance of cereal rye and annual rye cover crops in terms of establishment, weed suppression, biomass production, soil health impacts, and influence on subsequent cash crop yields. The award, running from September 2023 through September...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) (CFDA 10.310) totaling $749,045 is designed to comprehensively assess the long-term (10-15 year) impacts of early- and late-terminated cover crops on soil organic carbon pools and soil health indicators within the soil profile to at least 1 meter depth. The project will leverage two existing 10-year experiments in...
- This $200,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329), focuses on improving weed management in agriculture through a multidisciplinary approach aligned with integrated pest management (IPM) principles. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include conducting field experiments to examine the impacts of diverse cropping systems,...
