GRADUATE STUDENT PROJECTS

Graduate students have conducted a wide range of thesis projects under my direction, including:

  • carbon dynamics in red raspberry
  • the importance of water and its management in strawberry
  • micropropagation of blueberry
  • dynamics of foliar fertilizer applications in raspberry
  • weed management in raspberry
  • mycorrhizae-aluminum interactions in blueberry
  • nutrient interactions in strawberry
  • pruning in raspberry
  • biological control of Phytophthora root rot in raspberry
  • soil management effects on raspberry and strawberry root rots
  • carbon dioxide enrichment in the field to enhance productivity in strawberries
  • economics of greenhouse raspberry production
  • assessing the importance of fall carbon and nitrogen reserves in strawberry
  • effects of cover crop rotations on ameliorating strawberry replant disease
  • changes in the biochemistry of the photosynthetic process in strawberries across the last century
