Mycoflora@VSU, 2018 and 2020 www.valdosta.edu/biology/mycoflora/

Research Interests 

Identifying components of resistance of peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea) to infections by fungal pathogens.

Evaluating the efficacy of fungicides to manage fungal diseases in organic and conventional production systems. 

Environmental effects on germination and penetration of Cercospora arachidiola and Cercosporidium personatum.  

Other interests include diversity of lichens and macrofungi, and public participation in science.
