New paper from the Hoagland Lab led by former graduate student Narda Trivino, titled ‘Carrot genotypes differentially alter soil bacterial communities and decomposition of plant residue in soil’, was published in the journal Plant and Soil (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-023-05892-0). The long-term goal of this research described in this paper is to develop new carrot cultivars with better…Read more about Hoagland Lab Published New Paper[Read More]


  A new paper from the Hoagland Lab, led by former visiting scholar Usama Marghoob, has been published in Frontiers in Microbiology: Diversity and functional traits of indigenous soil microbial flora associated with salinity and heavy metal concentrations in agricultural fields within the Indus Basin region, Pakistan


The Hoagland Lab welcomed new visiting scholar, Leilei Zhang, currently a PhD student at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Italy. During her internship here at Purdue, Leilei will conduct studies investigating the impacts of different types of microplastics on critical plant and microbial processes. Please welcome Leilei to HLA!
