Early career scientists are wrapping up a summer of research in the PEAS program -- the Plant, Environmental and Agroecology Sciences Fellowship. Their work links their undergraduate academic studies with real-world problems in service to California farmers.
An international team, including Cameron Pittelkow, developed a strategy for reducing nitrogen fertilizer use in China’s rice production. Their plan would cut pollution, boost efficiency, and sustain food security while addressing environmental harm.
Cameron Pittelkow is a new professor in the Department of Plant Sciences, UC Davis. His expertise covers Agronomy and Agroecosystems, with a focus on sustainable crop production, management practices for high yields with low environmental footprints, and international agriculture.
