AREA OF EXPERTISE:
Vegetable crop production and physiology; seed quality/technology and
seedling establishment. Field, greenhouse and laboratory studies concentrate on
(1) seed enhancement procedures for tomato, pepper, and sweet corn, and
plug production of vegetable transplants, and
(2) integrated vegetable crop management programs. Interdisciplinary studies
center on reducing chemical applications while maintaining acceptable quality
and yield of vegetable crops.
