On Monday, April 8th, the CU Pulse Quality and Breeding Lab held a Field Day at W.P. Rawl and Sons Farm in Pelion, South Carolina. 50-60 people attended the event, consisting of Clemson students from Dr. Adelberg’s HORT class, Clemson Extension agents, and industry professionals. Several lab members, including Dr. Dil, gave a comprehensive overview of the field, including different aspects of what goes on there. Some of these activities included breeding trials, a look into germplasm studies, a UAV drone data demonstration, and other miscellaneous activities such as a walk through the field, a lunch, and a tour of the W.P. Rawl facilities. Overall, the day went well, with many different topics being discussed and questions being answered. The CU Pulse Breeding Lab would also like to thank W.P. Rawl for hosting the event and allowing the lab members to give detailed demonstrations and help others learn about the many different parts of plant breeding that go on in and out of the lab.
