By Dr. Mary
Olsen: As Extension Specialist in Plant
Pathology, I have programs in plant disease diagnosis and
prevention/control recommendations for growers, industry representatives,
pest control advisors, county agents and other specialists, master
gardeners, and homeowners; instruction in plant disease identification and
control at commodity meetings, extension sponsored seminars and
professional training workshops; instruction on horticultural plant
diseases in the Master Gardener Program; and information transfer about
important plant diseases in Arizona including the Extension Plant
Pathology web site: http://ag.arizona.edu/PLP/plpext.
Research Goals: My research programs are based on problem solving
research, including the ecology of pathogens of important economic crops
in Arizona and enhancement of existing control methods or development of
alternative control strategies for plant diseases. The goals of my
research are to find disease management strategies for Arizona growers
that are effective and sustainable using both field based research and
basic research methods in the laboratory.
