3. Research responsibilities:

• As principally the only nematologist in the state with research programs in vegetables, my research objectives are structured so as to directly support extension programs. Research interests include:
  • 1) to quantify nematode induced losses in crop yield within the framework of multiple cropping;
  • 2) to identify and evaluate alternative, integrated strategiesfor nematode management, particularly now with respect to the impending loss of methyl bromide.

Extension responsibilities:

• As an extension nematologist it is my responsibility to develop appropriate management strategies for nematodes on all fruit and vegetable crops in Florida and to communicated this information to county extension faculty and to growers via extension publications, trade journals, commodity institutes, grower meetings, and on-site field visits. In general, information regarding nematode damage functions, as well as chemical and nonchemical approaches are emphasized.

4. Accomplishments:

• In 1992 I was selected as one of two U.S. nematologists to serve as members of the United Nations Environment Program Methyl Bromide Technical Options Committee.
• As an extension nematologist, I have established well respected reputations among Florida commodity groups and have received a special recognition award for extension programming efforts in Florida vegetable crops.
