Intiaz Chowdhury is an assistant professor of cotton and vegetable crop nematology at the University of Georgia, Tifton. His research and Extension program focuses on fine-tuning management strategies for plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) and developing new management tools based on recent scientific advances.
