Research

Field-crop research program in areas of production, physiology, and modeling.

Research in production includes deficit-irrigation strategies in cotton, corn, sorghum, and wheat, reduced nitrogen fertilization rates in cotton.

Research in physiology includes growth and development responses of crop plants to water and nitrogen deficits, and plant growth regulators.

Research in modeling includes the development of mechanistic computer simulation models for studying the complex and interactive responses of plants to environmental stresses.
