Welcome to the Missouri State University Horticulture Program website. We hope you find what you are looking for, and if you don't, please let us know. We are part of the Missouri State University Agriculture Department, and currently have 40 undergraduate horticulture majors who are working toward horticultural science or horticulture business degree options. Students interested in an advanced degree pursue Masters Degrees in Plant Science through our College of Natural and Applied Sciences. Full time faculty in our program are Dr. Pamela Trewatha who has been at Missouri State University for 19 years and Dr. Clydette Alsup who joined the department six years ago. Several horticultural professionals also teach courses for us on a part-time basis. Dr. Trewatha's research interests have included work with turf grasses and native grasses, the use of mycorrhizae to enhance plant growth and survival, plant growth regulators, and integrated pest management. Dr. Alsup has done research involving the use of poultry litter as a fertilizer in commercial vegetable production, and propagation of drought-tolerant sugar maples. They are currently collaborating on research of container production methods for native herbaceous ornamental species, and on novel landscape planting methods for annual flowering plants. In addition, Dr. Trewatha advises several graduate students. Dr. Alsup manages the Agriculture Department's greenhouses and research plots at the Darr Agricultural Center.
