The challenge runs from September 5 to November 1.
Sponsored by Target Corporation, the challenge aims at finding find breakthrough sustainable solutions that can be affordably implemented to benefit cotton producers. Selected proposals will receive grant funding through Target Corporation and ultimately manifested for flight to the ISS National Lab, says a recent CASIS press release.
The concept topics may include fluid dynamics, fluid flow, cotton or plant germination, different cultivars of cotton genetics, water uptake and gene expression. Data generated from the selected research experiments will be offered in the public domain. (DS)
