Research

My research is focused on gaining a better understanding of the relationship between soil fertility status and soil biological processes and how this interaction affects crop yield on both conventional and organic cropping systems. Among the elements essential for life, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur are the main nutrients in soils which the availability is influenced by microbial activity. One of my current research projects aims at understanding better this relationship between nutrient availability and microbial activity by using enzymes as surrogates for microbial activity. In another project, I am looking at increasing crop diversity to improve soil health in vegetable production under organic high tunnels. Also, I have an extension appointment where I extend new information generated by research conducted in Southwest Minnesota to stakeholders.
