Bio/Research
My research program focuses on the environmental, biotic, and management interactions that influence the growth, development, yield, and quality of corn and soybeans in New York. I frequently conduct farmer-participatory research in which farmers operate field-scale equipment while testing different crop management practices in 10-20 acre corn or soybean experiments on their farms. We have found that farmers value field-scale studies on commercial farms more than small-plot research on University farms. We have averaged about 50 experiments on 12 farms per year in New York over the last 5 year period. I also conduct the corn silage hybrid trials and soybean variety trials in New York State and disseminate this information in a timely manner so New York dairy producers and soybean producers can make informed decisions on hybrid or variety selection.
