| Biology and control of soilborne diseases that affect fruit and nut trees and grapevines; detection and identification of Phytophthora spp. | ||||||
| Research Statement | ||||||
| My research program emphasizes studies on etiology and management of replant diseases of Prunus species ; evaluation of methyl bromide alternatives; and development of integrated mangement strategies for Phytophthora diseases on diverse fruit and nut crops. I am interested in development of molecular detection and identification methods for Phytophthora spp. | ||||||
