About Me
Yi Wang is an assistant professor with a research focus on potato and vegetable sustainable production. The goal of her research and extension program is to conduct science-based applied research and collaborate with the potato and vegetable growers and processors to improve the resource use efficiency and sustainability of vegetable cropping systems in Wisconsin. Her major research areas are:
1) Make production recommendations on variety selection, planting population, irrigation, fertilization, and storage management of potatoes and vegetable crops;
2) Develop cloud-based machine learning tools to predict crop yield, quality, water status, and nitrogen status using in-season remote sensing imagery;
3) Investigate innovative technologies and practices to improve the resource use sustainability of vegetable cropping systems including potatoes, snap beans, sweet corn, peas, and dry edible beans;
4) Identify strategic practices to build resilience of potato production systems to a changing climate.
Yi got her B.S. in Biological Science from Nanjing Agricultural University in China, her Ph.D. in Potato Physiology from UW-Madison.
