Upcoming Events

Personal guided tours of the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at UMass Amherst are available!

Free interactive and educational workshops on planting microgreens and creating small hydroponic growing systems that you can take home.  Showcase of our Hydroponic Greenhouse growing the lettuce you eat at UMass DIning.

Cranberry growers in Massachusetts face numerous challenges that limit their productivity. My research program aims to apply fundamental principles of plant physiology and other techniques to investigate questions related to agrivoltaics, new cultivar evaluations, fruit quality, canopy management, and the use of drones.

I will share recent insights into how phosphate sensing intersects with flowering time and stress adaptation. These findings illustrate how nutrient sensing networks shape phenotypic diversity and point to new strategies for engineering crops with enhanced resilience and reduced fertilizer dependence.
