Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Amanda McWhirt's research focuses on horticultural science, with a particular emphasis on small fruit cultivation and management. Her work investigates crop fertility, herbicide tolerance, and the impact of environmental factors on plant development and fruit quality. McWhirt has published research on the phenological cycles of strawberries and the effects of harvest date and year on blackberry properties.

Her research also extends to practical applications in agriculture, including the evaluation of soil-applied thyme oil for yield and disease management in strawberries. She has examined the tolerance of young blackberries to various preemergence herbicides and their application rates. McWhirt's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7, with 33 total publications and 200 citations. She collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
