Research, Teaching, and Extension Work
My responsibilities include extension weed science education responsibilities in turfgrasses, grass roadsides, noncropland areas and forage crops; applied weed management research in turfgrasses, grass roadsides and forage crops; and teaching the weed science section of CRSS 3500, Turfgrass Pest Management.
Some of my current applied research projects are to develop strategies for the control of problem weeds in my assigned commodity areas, annual bluegrass control in overseeded fairways, efficacy of herbicides for annual grass control in fine turfgrasses, and weed management in centipedegrass seed production systems.
My Extension effort is devoted to serving as a technical resource on weed management to county Extension agents and to developing traditional and electronic weed management educational materials.
