En résumé

-Select germplasm, develop and implement a creative and efficient breeding plan with the purpose of selecting superior commercial products in assigned maturity.
-Take into account both performance of the new hybrids and new parent lines to positively influence cost of goods.
-Understand and leverage the diversity of germplasm available from the Global breeding network (europe, US, LAS, LAN) as well as molecular tools in the development of the breeding plan.
- Analyze data from testing program. Make recommendations for advancement to higher levels of testing including commercialization.

Collaborate with other research stations to exchange ideas, plots, germplasm, data and other items to maximize performance of the team.

Project lead on Fusarium ear Rot and support for phytopahology

Travel to outlying stations and winter nursery (Chili, Mexico).
