This week, we officially wrapped up planting season for The Kernel Lab๐ฝ
Planting may be finished, but the work in the field is far from over. Looking forward to another season of research and learning.

It's a question many of us are trying to figure out: "What makes yield?"
In our last episode, we sat down with @purduecorn to get his take on what is most important for maximizing your yield. Find out now: bit.ly/4e2BGKt
Proud of our grad students recognized at the 2026 Agronomy Graduate Student Awards!
Congrats to Evan Cohagan, Jeferson Pimentel, Bruno Paulus Scheffer, Narciso Zapata, and Erick Oliva on this well-deserved recognition.๐๐ฝ

A big week for The Kernel Lab ๐ฝ
Jose Vaca, Emely Gramajo, and Narciso Zapata successfully defended their MS theses. Proud of their hard work and excited to see their continued impact in agriculture. ๐ฑ
#TheKernelLab#Agronomy
The guys sit down with @purdueagryext Dr. Daniel Quinn to talk about what takes corn from average to high-yielding. If you are looking to take your yields from good to great, you won't want to skip this one!

๐ฑ How do early growth stages shape corn yield?
Dr. Harkirat Kaur (@WiscBadger_corn ) explains how early season development, from planting to V6, influences corn performance and yield potential.

๐จ New from the Kernel Lab
Can satellite imagery support in-season N decisions?
โข ~17% of models were usable for AONR
โข V10โV11 showed the closest estimates
Shows potential, but reliability depends on context & timing.

This week, our lab participated in an Airtable workshop led by Adam Shanks @PurdueExtension. A hands-on session to improve how we manage and share research data across projects.
Using Airtable? Weโd like to hear how you apply it. If not, itโs a tool worth exploring.
๐ฝ How does weather stress impact corn yield?
Dr. Alex Lindsey (@cropstressOSU) explains how weather related stress affects corn development and what it means for management decisions.
