G. Boyd Padgett 

Teach Plant Disease Management

Other teaching is specific to extension programs in field crop pathology and agronomy, as well as, invited lectures and presentations.

During 2007-2018, I have participated as a speaker in over 170 local, state, and national meetings, as well as, participated in TV, radio programs, and news releases.

Grant funding has amounted to over $3 million during 2004-2018.  Grant funds were provided by USB, USDA, EPA, National Peanut Board, commodity check-off, and private industry.
