BIOGRAPHY

My research focus has been on understanding the effects of agricultural practices (APs) such as soil amendments, tillage and cropping systems on plant-nematode-soil-nutrient interactions at the organism and ecosystem levels with the goal of developing integrated, sustainable and scalable nematode, nutrient cycling, and soil health management strategies. We use three nematode community analyses-based models that apply biological, mathematical and ecological principles to translate complex basic and applied multi-disciplinary soil health knowledge into practical application where suitable and sustainable soil health outcomes are identified.

 

AREA OF EXPERTISE

  • Integrated and sustainable nematode management
  • Nutrient cycling
  • Soil health management in cropping systems.
