Extension
has secondary specialization area
Research
research overview
- The objective of my Extension and research is to work closely with NY's tree and vine industries, collaborating as much as possible with others in Extension and research professionals to help the New York's fruit industries thrive and prosper. This will be done by identifying critical needs in the industry which can have a solution within the realm of research and extension.
