What Grows Together: U of A Student Earns German Fellowship to Research Sustainable Agriculture

Nicole McKellar, a junior from Rogers studying biological engineering and German in the College of Engineering and the Honors College, has been selected for a DAAD RISE fellowship to research sustainable agriculture at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany, this summer. The program, funded by the German government, places undergraduates at top German universities and is highly selective. McKellar's project will test whether combinations of mineral fertilizers and bio-stimulants can strengthen wheat and soybean crops while reducing chemical dependence. She plans to bring the research back to Arkansas for her honors thesis.
