Jason Eberhard
Researcher
Eberhard, who will receive a Ph.D. in agronomy this fall from Mississippi State, has spent the past several years studying turfgrass physiology, soil chemistry and microbiological interactions that affect turf health. During his time as a teaching assistant and research associate, he contributed to academic publications, delivered numerous industry presentations and currently has multiple manuscripts under review.
Before entering academia, Eberhard worked as a golf course superintendent in Tennessee and Texas, blending his passion for golf with applied turfgrass management. That on-the-ground experience, combined with research expertise, positions him to help Plant Food advance nutritional and biostimulant strategies at a time when pesticide restrictions are tightening across North America.
