Ongoing research is focused on, but not limited to:

  • Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy as a tool for rapid determination of plant-, soil-, and animal-responses.
  • Assessment of silvopastoral systems in the Peruvian Amazon (website Silvopastures Peru).
  • Establishment and defoliation management effects on cool-season grass-legume mixtures.
  • Utilization of swine effluent and poultry litter as nutrient sources for forage and bioenergy production.
