The research focus of our group is on plant mineral nutrition. Our research seeks to underpin improvements in the nutritional quality and nutrient-use efficiency of crops using agronomic and/or genetic approaches. This work includes collaborations with geochemists, soil scientists, and human and animal nutritionists. Current projects include: (1) improving nutrient-use efficiency in Brassica crops, (2) improving forage nutrient management for improved animal health, (3) using wild relatives of wheat to produce improved varieties adapted to Indian soils, (4) soil geochemistry for improved agriculture and health.
