Amanda De Oliveira Silva

I have served as an Assistant Professor and Small Grains Extension Specialist at Oklahoma State University since August 2019. I believe that close interaction with producers is vital to understand their production strategies and to establish realistic research goals. My program focuses on developing science-based information to improve the agronomic and economic viability of small grains production in Oklahoma and in the Southern Great Plains.

I coordinate the Small Grains Variety Performance trials in Oklahoma. I also conduct an applied Research and Extension program, which uses information on crop physiology and plant nutrient requirements during the growing season to improve wheat variety characterization and crop management strategies, maximizing yield and while maintaining environmental stewardship.

Research Interests:

Crop Physiology, Plant Nutrition, Wheat Management, Impact of Genotype x Environment x Management interaction on wheat yield, end-use quality and nitrogen use efficiency.
