Expertise:
Schubert joined the research faculty at the Lubbock Center in
June, 1993 as associate professor, having transferred from the
Texas A&M University Research Station at Yoakum, where he was
superintendent and associate professor. He came to Yoakum in
1976 as assistant professor. While at Yoakum, he conducted peanut
and forage research, becoming unit head in 1984. Duties and
responsibilities at Lubbock include project leadership in all
phases of the interaction of the peanut to the natural and cultural
environment in the region. Areas of study have included physiological
aspects of interaction of species and genotypes to elevation,
soil and air temperatures, duration of growing season, rainfall,
irrigation, day-length, solar radiation, mineral nutrition,
chemical and physical soil characteristics, and cultural practices.
With the addition of new scientists with peanut responsibilities,
Schubert has decreased his activities in mineral nutrition and
irrigation to a collaborative role. He is coordinator of the
Peanut Precision Agriculture group and the Western Peanut Growers
Research Farm. He has collaborated with engineers and scientists
from the University of Georgia to incorporate global positioning
satellite-referenced peanut yield mapping into peanut field
research in West Texas. He collaborates with peanut breeders
on adaptation and performance of germplasm and advanced lines
to the West Texas environment and on genetic alteration of peanut
fatty acid profiles. Schubert is a member of the Texas A&M University
graduate faculty and is an adjunct and graduate faculty member
at Texas Tech University.
