OverviewAI-generated summary

A. J. Cato's research focuses on agricultural pest management and crop health, with recent publications examining the efficacy of biological control agents against soybean pests and the detection of insecticide resistance in stored grain beetles. Investigations have also included the evaluation of herbicide tolerance in blackberry plants and the impact of natural compounds on strawberry yield and disease. Cato has explored sampling techniques for broad mites in blackberry cultivation and reported on the occurrence of Fusarium wilt in blackberries in Arkansas. Collaborations include work with Amanda McWhirt, Matthew B. Bertucci, Nilda R. Burgos, and Renee T. Threlfall.
