Research Interests
My research program uses laboratory and field experiments to identify components of resistance of peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea) to infections by fungal pathogens, and to determine practices that can reduce disease development under organic production systems. Pathogens of interest include Cercospora arachidicola, the cause of early leaf spot, Cercosporidium personatum, the cause of late leaf spot, Aspergillus niger, the cause of Aspergillus crown rot, and Aspergillus flavus, an aflatoxin producing fungus that can contaminate seeds.
