Research area:
My research interests are related to pasture production and management under clipping and grazing. The main study efforts focus on the responses of forage plants to defoliation management, including applied physiology, morphology, production, persistence, and nutritive value of forage grasses and legumes. New materials are evaluated with the objective of identifying management practices that optimize their use in commercial animal production systems. Materials that are already commercially available are studied to broaden their utilization options in these systems.
