Brittany Dove

I am a passionate soil scientist who has recently completed my master’s degree, where I focused on the effects of a plant growth regulator on citrus crops. My research investigated its impact on crop phenology, and I developed a comprehensive soil-specific application dosage recommendation.  This work aimed to provide practical insights to optimize citrus production while maintaining environmental sustainability.

My academic journey began with an undergraduate degree in soil science and chemistry, where I studied subjects such as organic chemistry, soil fertility, irrigation systems, plant health, and pest management. This strong interdisciplinary foundation gave me a deep understanding of soil-plant interactions and the behavior of agrochemicals in agricultural systems.

I am a hard-working and dedicated person, driven by a passion for sustainable agriculture and precision in my work. With my field experience and commitment to practical, evidence-based solutions, I look forward to contributing to the citrus industry by supporting growers with strategies that enhance productivity and promote long-term soil health.
