The primary goal of my extension program is to provide reliable information to vegetable growers and industry stakeholders to encourage the adoption of durable management strategies and tactics for the control of vegetable diseases in New York.
In partnership with Cornell Cooperative Extension, I work with broadacre and small, diversified conventional and organic vegetable growers and industry stakeholders. We respond to research priorities established by growers and industry and strive to fully comprehend the production systems and action points to enable the development of practical solutions.
