Kimberly A. Williams Associate Professor

Williams expertise on plant production in controlled environment structures has resulted in her giving invited presentations around the U.S. and Canada, and she is currently co-authoring a book about Water and Nutrient Management for Floral Crops. She focuses her research on solving greenhouse industry problems.

Dr. Kim Williams' areas of emphases in Horticulture focus on topics related to crop production in protected environments, water and nutrient management during greenhouse production, and floriculture crops. She teaches four undergraduate courses in these subjects, advises undergraduate students who specialize in crop production disciplines, and conducts applied research projects that help solve the problems of today's greenhouse industry.

Dr. Williams’ research projects focus primarily on water and nutrient management for floriculture crops. She is currently studying the physiological disorder edema, organic versus conventional fertilization of greenhouse crops, and use of clays in soilless root media for their attributes of water and nutrient retention. Dr. Williams also studies the teaching and learning process in higher education in horticulture.
