John Inguagiato Northeast Region

John Inguagiato will intern in the Northeast Region. John is a fourth-year Ph.D. student at Rutgers University evaluating the effects of management practices on anthracnose, with Drs. Bruce Clarke and James Murphy serving as his advisors.

John’s interest in turfgrass developed from an appreciation of the outdoors and the four years he spent working at both municipal and private golf courses in Ohio. When John began his college career he majored in turfgrass science and received his B.S. degree in agriculture and natural resources from Ohio State University.

Upon completing his doctorate in October 2008, John plans to continue researching current challenges facing the turfgrass industry as an extension turfgrass pathologist at a land grand institution.
