Education:
Ph.D. University of California, Davis, 1974 (Plant Breeding, Genetics)
B.S. University of Illinois, 1969 (Plant Protection)
General Research Interest Statement:
Grain legume breeding and genetics, with an emphasis
on host plant resistance breeding. I am also interested
in legume rotations in cropping systems and agronomic
practices related to integrated pest management.
Research Interest Pertaining to
SAFS project:
My interest is in the contribution of conventional and
non-conventional grain legumes to sustainable crop rotations,
especially as they relate to nitrogen cycling/nutrition,
pest management, and water requirements. Specifically,
I have been evaluating conventional and new legume species
and varieties in new and traditional cover crop rotation
niches and production/management systems (intercropped,
overseeded) and species successions like mixes of summer
and winter cover crop species. I am also interested
in the use of novel varieties whose growth and development
in combination with crop management practices offer
alternatives for weed management and tillage..
