OverviewAI-generated summary
Michael D. Richardson's research program focuses on turfgrass science and horticulture, with recent work investigating the performance and application of nanobubble-oxygenated water in horticultural settings. He has examined the use of nanobubble-oxygenated water for irrigating sand-based creeping bentgrass putting greens and for broader horticultural applications.
His research also extends to turfgrass management, including studies on dormant sprigging of Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass, the development of winter-hardy zoysiagrass hybrids, and the long-term botanical composition of tall fescue-Kentucky bluegrass turfgrass mixtures. Richardson has also investigated the correlation between soil, leaf morphology, and physiological factors with the wear tolerance of warm-season turfgrass species. Additionally, his work has addressed the economic aspects of turfgrass management, such as the return on investment and water savings from irrigation sensors for Bermudagrass lawns.
A Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Richardson has a scholarly record marked by 267 publications and 5,948 citations, with an h-index of 38. He leads a research group and has a history of collaboration with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, including W. J. Hutchens, John H. McCalla, Matthew B. Bertucci, and Daniel O’Brien.
