Expertise

My research program has three main thrust areas (a) applied cultivar development, (b) development of cover crop systems, and (c) studying effects of natural selection on population variation in tall fescue.

In recent years my research in the area of cover crops has concentrated on the evaluation of cruciferous genera such as Brassica, Raphanus, and Sinapis for their suitability as cover crops in southern corn production systems.
