CURRENT INTERESTS,
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: |

My research includes sustainable economic development and various
aspects of horticulture
including ornamental, vegetable, and urban horticulture. Most
of my research is conducted at the Beaumont
Horticultural Unit in Perry County, Mississippi. The primary
focus of the work there is commercial vegetable production, cut
flower production, and Asian vegetables for both commercial and
home settings. I am also interested in wildlife damage control
in agricultural and home landscape settings. |
