J. Sergio Moroni

J. Sergio Moroni is a Lecturer at the School of Agricultural & Wine Sciences at Charles Sturt University (CSU), specializing in plant science, soil health, and crop adaptation. His work focuses on improving agricultural productivity under stressful environments, particularly through germplasm selection for drought tolerance and subsoil acidity resistance.

• Education: BSc Agric (Plant Science), MSc, PhD in Plant Breeding from the University of Alberta, Canada.

Research Interests include:

• Plant-soil interactions in low-pH soils
• Mineral nutrition of crops
• Root dynamics for water and nutrient capture
• Development of stress-tolerant germplasm (wheat, barley, canola)
• Climate adaptation strategies for Australian agriculture

Recent Publications explore topics like 100-day wheats for late sowing, drought-tolerant germplasm, and subsoil acidity mitigation. His work intersects agronomy, plant breeding, and sustainable agricultural systems.
