In my research program, I am attempting to address needs of current and future fruit growers in Alabama and the southeastern U.S. Specifically, my research is focused on improving the sustainability and efficiency of selected fruit production systems in our region.
Current research on satsuma mandarin pertains to evaluating new rootstock and scion selections for cold tolerance and overall performance, and determining the effects of fertilizer rates and application frequency on fruit yield, fruit quality, and alternate bearing.
