About Amanda De Oliveira Silva

I joined Oklahoma State University in 2019 as an Assistant Professor and Small Grains Extension Specialist and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2025. My program integrates applied research and Extension with the goal of improving the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of wheat production systems. While much of my work is rooted in Oklahoma and the Southern Great Plains, the questions I study—how agronomic management, crop physiology, and plant nutrition interact to influence yield, grain quality, and nutrient use efficiency—are relevant to wheat-growing systems around the world. By working closely with producers, industry partners, and researchers, my goal is to develop practical, science-based solutions that help growers navigate production challenges and improve the resilience of their farming systems.
