Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
John H. McCalla's research focuses on turfgrass management, particularly bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars. His work has investigated strategies for dormant seeding and sprigging of these grasses in transition-zone environments, aiming to improve their establishment and recovery. McCalla has also examined the tolerance of various turfgrass species, including bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, and buffalograss, to different herbicide applications, contributing to understanding weed management practices in turf settings. His research has included evaluating methods for assessing turfgrass recovery from divot injury and measuring golf ball lie in different turfgrass species using digital image analysis. McCalla holds an h-index of 10 with 29 publications and 289 citations. He has collaborated with researchers including Michael D. Richardson, W. J. Hutchens, Samuel Kreinberg, and Thomas Walton, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
