2022 CSSA Division Awards for Outstanding Paper

January 1, 2023

Most CSSA divisions award outstanding papers annually from papers published in Crop Science. Division awards are chosen from all articles published in the preceding calendar year with selection based on appropriate scientific merit in their topic areas. Several divisions published their 2022 winners in the November 2022 issue of CSA News magazine (see https://doi.org/10.1002/csan.20883). The winners for the Crop Breeding and Genetics (C01) and Forage & Grazinglands (C06) divisions are published here.
