Jo, Young-Ki Professor and Extension Specialist
Positions
- Associate Professor and Extension Specialist, Plant Pathology and Microbiology, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
The principal focus of my research and extension deals with the management of diseases associated with turfgrass, rice, and soybean. Studies have been conducted to develop molecular identification methods of causal pathogens and to improve cultural and chemical strategies to manage diseases in the field.
