54 SEEDWORLD.COM SEPTEMBER 2015 in unconventional ways she says. Dr. Innes was very good at encouraging people around him to accelerate and knowing that challenges can be overcome its just a matter of finding a way. Never give up thats the lesson learned that I apply regardless of the challenges in my role today. Reinot served as quality controller and technical manager and was promoted to global head of research and development in 2002. Traditionally research and product development in this area had primarily focused on the application of single organisms such as rhizobia Reinot explains. We took it to another level by combining biologicals as building blocks and we developed a Biostacked approach to seed applied technologies. She believes that biologicals as seed applied technologies are very complementary to classical crop protectants because they provide different modes of action at different time frames. These technologies help farmers manage resistance and extend the window of plant protection to the seed and seedling Reinot adds. In 2012 Becker Underwood was acquired by BASF where Reinot serves as director of research and development for Seed Solutions within the companys Functional Crop Care business unit. Her energy and expertise go beyond that of individual companies. Reinot has served on the board of directors of the Association of Natural Biocontrol Producers since 2003 serving three years as president and the Biopesticide Industry Alliance since 2005 where she currently serves as vice chair. Reinot also serves on the International Seed Federations Seed Applied Technologies Committee. With the limited arable land available changing climate and increasing global population its a very important time in agricul- ture Reinot says. Seed is one of the most important factors in crop production and every seed counts. This ties together with our work efforts and innovations that we offer in helping agricul- ture provide the food feed fiber and fuel for humankind. Walter O. Scott Walter O. Scott so much epitomized the hard-working Extension specialist getting his hands dirty and working with local farmers to improve their crops that he earned the nick- name Mr. Soybean throughout Illinois. Earning a doctorate at Purdue University Scott started his career with the Kansas State University Extension Service in 1939 but was wooed away by the University of Illinois in 1946 where Scott stayed until his retirement in 1981. Never give up thats the lesson learned that I apply regardless of the challenges in my role today. Eda Reinot
