Our sorghum heat tents r nearly operational. Sensors & data loggers r being assembled in d lab 4 installation this weekend✌️Next week, v begin trts. to assess hybrid variation in reproductive resilience, biomass & forage quality. @SorghumCheckoff @SorghumGrowers🙏 @KJagadish_TTU

Crop ready, heat tents nearly operational. Next week we begin exposing commercial cotton cultivars to heat during flowering & boll development to benchmark heat susceptibility/tolerance & impacts on yield & fiber quality. 🙏@CottonInc @TTUDAVISCOLLEGE @KJagadish_TTU @ISomayanda

#Ethan is busy planting PF sorghum & forage maize in the paddocks today with rainfall predicted tomorrow. Hoping for a good shower to provide the moisture needed 4 strong germination & a great start to the season🤞🙌 #CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram @KJagadish_TTU @ISomayanda

Still out in the field. @sagwal_nilesh is busy taking SATURO readings in the AMP reference plot (before planting) 👏🙌🙏 Capturing precise infiltration & Kfs data to benchmark soil health: science doesn’t rush🥳 #CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram @KJagadish_TTU @ISomayanda – at Abernathy, TX

Installed an eddy covariance system @ FBRI farm to measure CO₂, water vapor, & energy fluxes, with add'l. sensors to be installed in the same field🙌. Ideal for side-by-side comparison under identical conditions & a great setup for field day demos @KJagadish_TTU @ClintKrehbiel

First trial of the season. Great 2 see a strong start! 🙌🤞🥳This trial focuses on assessing early-season chilling tolerance across diverse silage sorghum and maize hybrids in our region. #CropForageLivestockSystemsProgram @KJagadish_TTU @ISomayanda @TTUDAVISCOLLEGE @TAWC_TTU – at Lubbock, TX
Congratulations👏👏 @CoolBreeze5727 on recieving the 'Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award in Natural Sciences'. This is such a well-deserved moment - Keep shining🌟 @KJagadish_TTU @SainiDK10 @TTUDAVISCOLLEGE @ClintKrehbiel

Delivered two invited talks at #PAG33: one on genetics & physiology of PHS tolerance, & another on integrating genomics, phenomics & modeling for sorghum ideotype design. Also excited to promote the upcoming Global Sorghum Conference 🙏🙌depts.ttu.edu/research/sorgh… @KJagadish_TTU
Abstract submission deadline for poster competition at the 12th Annual Water College taking place on Jan 21, 2026, at the Lubbock Civic Center is extended till Jan 15th. The poster competition will feature awards for the top three winners. @KJagadish_TTU, @SainiDK10 , @TAWC_TTU
