Presented and showcased ongoing blackberry research trials to the NFREC Advisory Council, highlighting key findings, trial objectives, and potential impacts on regional agriculture and grower profitability through evidence-based insights.




Grateful for the thoughtful gift of star fruit from our research collaborator at USDA ARS Miami, a symbol of our fruitful partnership and shared dedication to agricultural science and innovation😀


Nearly 100 attendees joined the @FruitPhysiology team to explore the future of blackberry production in Florida through trellising demos, pruning tips, tastings, and field tours at @UFIFASNFREC. A sweet opportunity for crop diversification? 🔗 linktr.ee/UFHortSci

Utilizing hyperspectral imaging via drone enhances our nitrogen management in Satsuma mandarin by enabling precise, real-time monitoring of canopy nutrient status for optimized fertilization and improved yield. Great job @carlos_aucique @dr_shahid1151 @FDACS @ufhorticulture
Spotted a majestic camel during my visit to Saudi Arabia! Such an iconic sight in the desert, calm, strong, and beautifully adapted to the harsh landscape. A true symbol of tradition and resilience. Unforgettable moment in the Kingdom

Thanks to Al-Joef Agriculture Company, Saudi Arabia for inviting me to see the home to the world’s largest olive planting with 5 million trees. We discussed using silicon to enhance olive yield, improve oil quality, and advance sustainable agricultural practices




From field visits to ongoing advisory support, happy to contribute to Saudi Government efforts to empower sustainable citrus production and enhancing the Kingdom’s food security goals.



Honored to visit King Faisal University’s Central Laboratories and present on silicon's role in agriculture. Grateful for engaging discussions on research collaboration and the warm hospitality, especially from Dr. Zafar Iqbal and Dr. Munir.




We have begun a new phase in our projects. #Biochemical analysis will allow to explain with more detail what happens in citrus plants under #freezing conditions. #PlantStress #PlantPhysiology good pictures Alaiha @Dr_MAdnanShahid @FruitPhysiology @dr_shahid1151
Dr. Ather Mahboob, Vice Chancellor of Al-Kawter University in Pakistan visited NFREC Quincy. This visit marks a significant milestone in strengthening our research collaboration and fostering global partnerships in education and innovation.
Whether it’s enjoyed freshly picked from the tree, in a mimosa or meringue pie, #citrus has endless possibilities! And so does your #FSHS abstract! Submit to our Citrus Section @Dr_MAdnanShahid before the March 15th deadline 🍊🍋🍋🟩fshs.org/2025-conference
Short drought stress memory can enhance cold tolerance in grapefruit plants, potentially offering a natural strategy to protect crops from temperature extremes. Congrats @dr_shahid1151 @carlos_aucique sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
