At the time of retirement I was the Interim Associate Director for State Operations – AgriLife Extension.

In my previous positions within this unit, I have had success in the development of productive wheat management systems, with emphasis on:

• Proper placement of P fertilizer and the importance of P in wheat forage production
• The use of chloride bearing fertilizers and their role in disease management in wheat
• Management of wheat by physiological growth stage
• Importance of genetic diversity in managing disease and insect pests of wheat
• Identification and management strategies for managing herbicide resistance in Italian ryegrass

I was also actively involved in the development of the Early Soybean Production System for Texas and the southern U.S.
