Host: DPIRD research agronomist Cindy Webster
Guest Speakers: DPIRD Research Scientist Amanuel Bekuma 

In this episode of Grains Convo, Cindy Webster hosts DPIRD Research Scientist Amanuel Bekuma, as they go through an overview of DPIRD's research being showcased at the Grains Research Updates 2024 (GRU 24')

Amanuel shares his insights into managing Ice Nucleating Bacteria to mitigate frost damage in crops, while sharing success in DPIRD's work in developing new protocols for rapidly testing chemicals that reduce frost damage.

Amanuel also delves into why it's so important this research is being presented on the GRU 24' stage.
