Congratulations to Fabiano Colet on receiving the 2023 Ohio Soybean Council Scholarship. This scholarship will help Fabiano greatly as he continues his graduate education pursuing his PhD in Agronomy under the advisement of Dr. Laura Lindsey.
Fabiano shared how meaningful this achievement has been as well as a bit about his current research centered on soybeans:
What does winning this scholarship mean to you?
Fabiano Colet: Winning the competitive Ohio Soybean Council scholarship is a great achievement, and this scholarship will help me with some academic costs and professional development.
What’s your favorite aspect of being involved in the soybean industry?
Fabiano Colet: My favorite aspect is the opportunity to meet many people involved with soybean production (including other students, farmers, extensionists, professors, and others) and create a network while learning and sharing experiences with them.
Could you expand a bit on your current research?
Fabiano Colet: My research consists of two projects: foliar fungicide application and biological seed treatment for soybeans.
The foliar fungicide application project aims to study the effects of frogeye leaf spot disease (Cercospora sojina) on soybean planted in different environmental conditions in Ohio while preventing soybean grain yield losses caused by the disease applying foliar fungicide at different timings.
