SPECIALTIES
AND RESEARCH AND/OR EXTENSION AREAS
Served as Extension
District Director (26 counties) in Nebraska and Extension Specialist
in Texas and Arizona. Research career (17 years) focused on control
and management of invasive plant species on rangelands using herbicides
and/or fire. International experience in Africa, Australia and Latin
America.
Research centered
on herbicidal control of woody weeds on rangelands. Three herbicides
- clopyralid, triclopyr and tebuthiuron - were labeled for rangeland
use on the basis of this research. A major effort in woody plant
physiology was initiated to better time the application of herbicides.
Efforts were also taken to investigate the use of controlled burning
to complement herbicidal control of shrubs. |
