About
My research addresses existing, emerging and invasive pest management issues affecting turfgrass and ornamentals. Current projects focus on enhancing our understanding of the biology of pest and beneficial species to develop and refine monitoring and management strategies. Efforts emphasize the development of management tactics that would reduce the impact on environment and non-targets. My extension program promotes the adoption of integrated pest management strategies supported by lab and field studies.
