Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

John H. McCalla's research focuses on turfgrass management and horticultural applications. His recent publications investigate methods for improving turfgrass quality and sustainability, including studies on dormant sprigging of bermudagrass and zoysiagrass, and the effects of shade, height of cut, and plant growth regulators on these grasses. He has also explored alternative cool-season turfgrass species for overseeding dormant bermudagrass. A notable area of his work involves the application of nanobubble-oxygenated water in horticulture, examining its use for irrigating sand-based creeping bentgrass putting greens and its broader horticultural potential. McCalla has published 27 works, accumulating 281 citations and an h-index of 10. He has collaborated with Michael D. Richardson, W. J. Hutchens, and Samuel Kreinberg, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, on multiple shared publications.
