Personal Information
Kyle Brasier came to Chico from Virginia Tech where he completed his PhD in wheat breeding and genetics. While in Virginia, Kyle was involved with the development of wheat cultivars that more efficiently capture and utilize applied nitrogen fertilizer. Kyle’s work at Chico State focuses on improving the productivity of legumes for healthy agroecosystems.
The ongoing legume research at Chico State can be found at the Center for Regenerative Agriculture website.
