Participating at the principal investigator meeting of the #CropXR project this afternoon in Ede.

Peter Bourke, Guusje Bonnema, Chris Malipaard and I are supervising a PhD student, Max Wellens, in this project.

Max will work on breeding for cultivar mixtures (methodology) and do a genomic prediction on mixture performance for more resilient cropping systems. I will share on his progress here occasionally.
