Adrian Correndo is a Ph.D. candidate in Ciampitti Lab at Kansas State University, who will receive the Nelson Yield-Limiting Factors Graduate Student Scholarship from the American Society of Agronomy (ASA).
This award will be formally presented in Nov-08 at the 2021 ASA Awards Ceremony during the ASA-CSSA-SSSA Annual Meetings in Salt Lake City, Utah. Five graduate students will gather this award during the event: Adrian Correndo (Kansas State University), Carlos Augusto Bonini Pires (Kansas State University), Javier Fernandez (Kansas State University), Maria Sole Bonarota (University of Nevada-Reno), and Carrie C. Ortel (University of Arkansas).
Adrian is an agronomy scientist with expertise in crop nutrition and soil fertility. He obtained his B.S in Agronomy and M.Sc in Soil Science at the University of Buenos Aires, Arge
ntina. Currently, he is a Ph.D. candidate at Kansas State University under Dr. Ignacio Ciampitti.
His current research project focuses on the nitrogen plant-soil dynamics in corn-soybean farming systems and their relation to crop productivity, with soil nitrogen mineralization and biological fixation processes at the center of attention.
Adrian has already worked on 12 refereed publications, 33 extension articles, 7 book chapters, 5 data codes, and 28 presentations at scientific meetings. Adrian plans to dedicate his career to develop a compelling research and extension program in cropping systems. He is passionate about applied statistics and aims to play an active role in multidisciplinary projects that gather agriculture stakeholders and diverse Academia fields.
The purpose of the Nelson Yield-Limiting Factors Graduate Student Scholarship is to encourage students to pursue research and careers in support of the diagnosis yield-limiting factors in agronomy.
The scholarship focuses on leadership, accomplishments, and the nominee's long-term personal goals to research and develop improved diagnostic techniques and solutions to yield-limiting factors in agronomy.
This scholarship is provided through the Agronomic Science Foundation by the Werner L. Nelson Fund and administered through the American Society of Agronomy.
