Expertise:
Expertise in the biology and control of plant diseases caused by fungi, nematodes and complex diseases involving multiple soilborne pathogens. Areas of emphasis include non-chemical controls such plant resistance and the development of cropping systems with non-host or nematode-antagonistic plants. Examples include biofumigation with Brassicas, breeding for resistance to fungal, virus and nematode pathogens, and IPM programs for nematodes based on sampling and damage functions.

 

Education:
B.S. Fitchburg State College (1979); Biology
M.S. Cornell University (1982); Plant Pathology
Ph.D. Cornell University (1984); Plant Pathology

 

Station Career:
Started as Assistant Scientist at the Station in New Haven in 1986, moved to Windsor to become the Pathologist at the Valley Laboratory in 1987, promoted to Associate Scientist in 1989, to Scientist in 1998, to Chief Scientist in 2003, and Emeritus in 2022.

 

Current Research:
Includes topics such as: management of boxwood blight; the management of pathogens and disease in small fruit and vegetable crops; the association of plant parasitic nematodes with salt marsh decline; and the development of nonchemical management systems using resistant cultivars, nonhost rotation crops, and/or antagonistic crops (such as biofumigation) which reduce populations of soilborne pathogens of strawberry, vegetables, and tobacco.
