Current Assignment
Conduct
research on weed control and pod rot organisms of peanuts. Weed
control involves the evaluation of new herbicides and combinations for
potential use in peanuts, develop and evaluate more effective chemical
and non-chemical controls for the major weed species in peanuts,
interactions of herbicides and pathogens, evaluate differential
susceptibility of breeding lines and cultivars to herbicides, and
monitor long range changes in weed species and populations under
various management and cropping system.
The soil-borne disease research involves isolation and
identification of major components of the soil-borne diseases and
complexes, develop and evaluate more effective chemical and
non-chemical controls, interrelationships and interactions of the
associated microorganisms in the disease complexes, host-pathogen
relationships, screen and evaluate germplasm
for resistance to these diseases, and effects of cultural practices
upon disease development .
Conduct
research on various aspects of soybean production along the
Texas
Gulf
Coast
.
This involves weed control systems,
research on cultivars suited for production in the coastal area,
effective planting dates for the soybean cultivars based on maturity
groups, comparison of row spacing on soybean development and yield,
and develop of control measures for Asian soybean rust.
Other
research areas includes the evaluation of various forages for
potential use in the south-central area of
Texas
as well as work on new herbicide for use in pasture and forage
operations and sesame production. Also involved in the research of
chicken litter use in pastures and determining the effects of
continuous chicken litter on phosphorus and nitrogen buildup in the
soil. Also monitoring potential problems with ground-water
contamination from chicken litter. Assisting in development of
herbicide systems to use in sesame. Currently there are no herbicides
cleared for use in sesame and it is imperative that for sesame acreage
to increase across the southwest, herbicides are needed.
