Plant Pathology

R.M. Harveson's Research

Dr. Harveson conducts research that addresses the ecology, spread, and management of diseases of important crops in the Nebraska Panhandle. This includes crops in both irrigated and dryland production situations. However, the emphasis for the plant pathology project in Scottsbluff involves the ecology and management of soilborne, root diseases of sugar beets and dry-edible beans.
