OverviewAI-generated summary

W. J. Hutchens' research focuses on turfgrass science, particularly addressing challenges faced in cultivation and management. His work investigates environmental and edaphic factors influencing disease epidemics, such as Spring Dead Spot in bermudagrass. Hutchens studies strategies to improve turfgrass survival and recovery, including winter survival of hybrid bermudagrass and recovery from winterkill damage in zoysiagrass. He also examines the efficacy of various management practices, such as irrigation, soil surfactants, and cultural techniques, in controlling diseases like dollar spot in creeping bentgrass. Furthermore, his research explores horticulture industry awareness and utilization of educational resources provided by Cooperative Extension. Hutchens has a publication record of 20 articles, with an h-index of 4 and 62 total citations. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Michael D. Richardson, Michael V. Battaglia, J. K. Anders, and John H. McCalla.
