Welcome to the Choudoir Lab!
The Choudoir Lab in the Plant and Microbial Biology Department at North Carolina State University focuses on the ecological processes driving plant-soil-microbe interactions in agroecosystems. Our research aims to support North Carolina farmers and producers with decision making about land management, cropping systems, and nutrient inputs to maximize crop productivity and enhance soil health. Follow @NCSoilMicro and the NC State Soil Health and Management Extension page for applied research and program updates.
The goal of our applied research and extension program is to translate microbiome science to sustainable agriculture. Climate change, intensive agriculture practices, and the increasing demands of food systems threaten soil microbiome biodiversity and their important ecosystem functions. At the same time, microbial solutions to agronomic challenges can support sustainability goals! Dr. Choudoir’s research philosophy aligns with environmental, social, and climate justice goals.
