Extension

My extension program focuses on managing arthropod pests of ornamental plants in greenhouses, nurseries, and urban landscapes. We produce diverse extension resources including print and web publications, articles in trade magazines, and pest alerts via Twitter.

Urban forests and other landscape plants provide many environmental, economic, and aesthetic benefits to people and wildlife. We provide information to landscapers, aborists, and urban foresters to improve pest management efficacy and sustainability in urban landscapes.

We also provides information to ornamental plant producers to make their pest management practices more effective, economical, and environmentally sound.
