My research interests involve investigations into the identification, biology and management of pathogenic fungi effecting turfgrasses. A current project seeks to establish links between high parasitic nematode populations in soils and the incidence of some fungal diseases in turf. Organic topdressings are being explored for their disease and nematode suppressive properties. New fungicides, fungicide combinations nematicides are the subject of ongoing trials to determine their efficacy in disease prevention and control.
