Research Focus

My major research focus is on production and physiology of cut flowers and herbaceous perennials, with a minor emphasis on physiological disorders of vegetables, such as the effects of flooding on vegetable crops. Recently, we have investigated the temperature conditions in high tunnels (unheated plastic-covered greenhouses) and studied practical ways to moderate those temperatures.
