Areas of
Expertise
Develops improved irrigation and fertilizer management
practices for potatoes and small grains. Determines effects
of crop sequences, cover crops, fertilizer, and irrigation
management practices on nitrogen use efficiency, nitrate
leaching, and plant nitrogen availability. Evaluates effectiveness
of variable-rate irrigation and fertilizer application
control systems for improving water and fertilizer use
efficiency.
