The emphasis of Dr. Krutz's research program is elucidating the environmental
fate of agrochemicals in crop production systems containing edge-of-field
and in-field best management practices. Dr. Krutz has made significant
contributions to the field of environmental chemistry including (1) elucidating
retention mechanisms for dissolved phase herbicides and herbicide metabolites
in vegetated filter strips, (2) relating chemical, physical, and biological
properties of vegetated filter strip soil to the potential for subsequent
herbicide/herbicide metabolite transport, (3) glyphosate risk assessment,
(4) and phytoremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil. In addition,
he has published review articles on the use of solid-phase microextraction
for herbicide determination in environmental samples and the use of vegetative
filter strips for reducing herbicide runoff from agricultural fields.
Prior to joining SWSRU, Dr. Krutz was a Graduate Research Assistant
in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at Texas A&M University.
