The National Environmentally Sound Production Agriculture Laboratory (NESPAL) is a unit of the University of Georgia's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
Using both traditional and biotechnology breeding techniques, scientists from two laboratories at NESPAL are targeting improvements in a plant's ability to resist the environmental and biological stresses of the Southeastern United States.
Ms. Maria Seidl, a graduate student in Agricultural Economics at the Technical University of Munich (Germany), is spending 3 months on the UGA Tifton Campus working with Dr. George Vellidis and Ms. Susan Crow Lowrance.
Maria is working on a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) model which assesses farmer attitudes about conservation practice adoption. The project is funded by a USDA-NIFA grant.
