Summary The University of Oklahoma received a $298,448 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI), CFDA 10.310, effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2028. The project delivers research datasets and analytical products designed to quantify water consumption and efficiency in Oklahoma winter wheat production systems under varying tillage and no-tillage farming practices. Using satellite-based remote sensing technology, the research team will generate empirical data correlating agricultural management practices with crop water use efficiency and productivity outcomes under different water availability conditions. These research outputs support AFRI's priority areas in bioenergy, natural resources, and environment by providing farmers, researchers, and policymakers with evidence-based information to optimize water use efficiency, reduce input costs, and sustain long-term productivity and profitability in Oklahoma's winter wheat sector. The deliverables align with national sustainable agriculture objectives and are intended to inform production decisions across Oklahoma's winter wheat growing regions.
