Evaluating Phosphorus and Potassium Application Rates on Yield, Nutrient Uptake, and Post-harvest Soil Testing for Fall Cabbage and Corn Julie-Ann Adorno is a second-year plant science master's student and graduate research assistant at the University of Connecticut under Dr. Haiying Tao. Her current research involves evaluating sustainable fertilizers in a greenhouse setting, and field evaluation of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer application rates on fall cabbage and corn yield, nutrient uptake, and post-harvest soil testing. The current recommendations based on critical soil test values and optimum phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilization rates are derived from poorly documented, decades-old research conducted in outdated agricultural production systems and under historic climate conditions. In the NE region, the last collective effort for soil fertility trials was funded by the USDA more than 20 years ago, with a limited scope on understanding responses to P and K fertilizers. Robust soil test correlation and calibration data are needed for many modern crop varieties in the region. This research will help modernize critical soil test values for crop yield response and responsible nutrient management.

Benjamin York will defend his thesis titled "On the classification of l-adic and adelic Galois representations attached to elliptic curves with complex multiplication" in the Department of Mathematics. The work of this thesis sits at the intersection of algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry.
