About Us

Welcome to the Rogers lab! I am Dr. Mary Rogers.

Our lab members broadly explore ecological-based strategies to improve the production of vegetables and fruit in organic systems. Overall research themes address integrated pest management for horticultural crops with an emphasis on organic management and improving local and organic fruit and vegetable production using season extension and protected culture. 

You are welcome to read about what current lab members are working on by exploring their profiles below. Visit Mary’s Horticultural Science faculty page for more information about her.
