Extension efforts:
Provide agents, professional plant producers, landscape and
golf course managers, and homeowners with the information necessary
to diagnose and manage pests that attack horticultural commodities.
Research interests:
Biology of insect and mite pests that attack trees, shrubs,
and turfgrass in production or in landscapes in the southern
United States. The behavior and ecology of these pests
are not always well understood, yet essential to developing effective
management strategies.
Interactions between plant-feeding insects and their host
plants.
Investigate novel, reduced-risk insecticides for management of
pests on golf courses, in landscapes, or in nursery production.
Non-target impact of pesticides in southern turfgrass.
Useful reference for pest management in turf and the landscape:

504 from the Ohio State University lists pesticides by pest
