Research

My lab investigates best practices for berry crop production systems, environmental physiology of berry crops, and plant growth regulator use in berry crops using physiology and metabolomics techniques.

Extension

My extension program concerns the production and management of berry crops, with an emphasis on research-based recommendations for blueberry management. Research findings from my lab are disseminated to industry stakeholders though talks, extension bulletins, extension events, and trade magazine articles. I work closely with other members of the MSU blueberry extension team to coordinate extension events and meetings, and provide talks to state and national conferences/meetings and associations.
