He currently is a Professor at OSU in the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science in the Extension Vegetable Crop Physiology Lab. Dr. Kleinhenz is currently active in three areas of study: (1) the stability of important physiological and market-based factors across genotypes and environments; (2) the control of phytonutrient accumulation for consumer and grower benefit; and (3) lessening specific challenges (e.g., nutrient management) associated with organic vegetable crop production. Since 1996, he has delivered more than sixty presentations in Extension programs (conferences, field days, workshops, television) held in four states to approximately four thousand program attendees.
