Tasmanian student Ashley Schott takes national agricultural award

13/6/2017

UTA student Ashlea Schott has managed to win the annual Agricultural Institute of Australia award for students, presented in Western Australia.

UTA student Ashlea Schott has managed to win the annual Agricultural Institute of Australia award for students in Western Australia today.

The student of University of Tasmania represented the nation by presenting her extensive research project at the Science and Innovation meeting at Manjimup.

Each agricultural institute picked the best students who have completed an Agricultural Honours and Master research task to represent them in the competition.

Finalist students, one by one had to send a written submission on the basis of their study/topix examined and had to present a talk that lasted 15 minutes in front of a group of judges.

Ms Schott had supported that her research study examined the floral developmental phases that are most vulnerable to environmental stress in pyrethrum creation. She expressed that reaching to the final was a great surprise for her as all the other competing students seemed equally confident and well-communicative of their projects so this had definitely made her proud.She further added that the chance to join this competition that featured a trip to Manjimup for going to the final was a great learning experience for the students like her who wanted to present their personal studies.

Ms Schott is now employed at Bejo Tasmania as a after-graduate agricultural researcher.

Ian Macleod revealed that he was very impressed by the level of the presentations shown by the finalist students. He added that the competition invites some of the top agricultural students from all across the nation who join each other to present their research project and every year the level gets even higher.

He saw this an opportunity for students to demonstrate talent in the agricultural field and he expressed his joy to fund the competition and anticipating the positive contributions of Ashlea and her peers in the field of agriculture for the years to come
