Dry Bean Agronomy & Pest Management

Research Interests:

Dry beans have been a niche crop in Ontario for decades, typically offering high returns for a high level of management. My role is to shape the management techniques for this crop and provide the greatest returns for the grower.

For potential graduate students or partners:

I am looking for students/partners interested in applied pest management and agronomy research in field crops. Specific research questions include the impact of soybean cyst nematode on dry bean market classes, and the interaction of multiple stresses in dry beans. Experience in pest management and Canadian production agriculture would be useful. For more information, please email me.
