Dr. Rogers' responsibilities focus on the development and implementation of integrated pest management programs for citrus. Research examines the ecology of insect pests of citrus and the integration of chemical and biological control in the citrus system.
Dr. Pelz-Stelinski's research program focuses on the biology and microbial ecology of insect vectors of plant diseases.
Dr. Chater's program emphasis details citrus variety improvement; advanced selections in scion and rootstock field trials; fruit and juice quality and sensory analysis; optimizing grower selection; and more.
Dr. Dewdney's Extension responsibilities focus on integrated management and control measures for citrus canker and citrus greening with additional responsibilities for fungal pathogens.
Dr. Duncan's research focus is on the ecology and management of plant parasitic nematode pests of citrus and the ecology of entomopathogenic nematodes and their potential role in citrus IPM.
Dr. El-Mohtar's program works mainly with the development and the deployment of CTV infectious clones for basic science research and practical purposes (HLB/Asian citrus psyllid control).
Dr. Grosser's research program in citrus variety improvement addresses all major citrus production problems in Florida, and also strives to develop new cultivars that will provide growers with new marketing opportunities.
Dr. Kadyampakeni's program emphasis includes developing and implementing sustainable strategies that optimize water management for citrus production, conservation of water, and water quality.
Taylor's current extension interests include microbial food safety emphasizing the safety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Taylor’s extension program includes teaching programs related to FSMA, HACCP, GAPs and other specialized food safety programs.
Dr. Omar's research focuses on citrus scion and rootstock improvement and understands disease resistance mechanism for citrus canker and HLB (Huanglongbing or citrus greening).
Dr. Shumann's program emphasis is to identify soil spatial variability, its causes, and impacts on the environment, citrus growth, nutrition and yield.
Dr. Singerman is currently working on analyzing the economic feasibility of management strategies aimed at mitigating risks and improving productivity and profitability in agricultural production.
Dr. Stelinski's research focuses on development of integrated management strategies for insect pest control in citrus.
Dr. Vashisth's Extension responsibilities focus on citrus production needs and implementing horticultural practices to improve citrus production, tree health and fruit quality.
Dr. Vincent's program emphasis is to serve Florida perennial fruit crop producers with production methods and biological understanding to improve productivity of citrus crops and additional crops and cropping systems in the traditional citrus region.
