Speciality
Crop Ecophysiology

Education

PhD - 2000 Crop Physiology, University of Guelph, Guelph,Canada

MS – 1996 Crop Physiology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada

BS - 1993 Biology major, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada

 

Crop Ecophysiology with special emphasis on the interaction of genetics and environment that confer adaptation and stress resistance:

1. Photoperiod and developmental regulation in soybean

2. Tillage system and impact on yield components in winter wheat

3. Modeling yield loss due to the defoliating pathogen Asian Soybean Rust. See project website for more details: http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Agronomy/Department/sbr/
