Tillman Myers is a Biological Science Technician currently serving as part of Dr. Eric Billman’s research team at the Coastal Plains Soil, Water, and Plant Research Center. Our research is focused on incorporating novel cover cropping systems into cotton productions systems of the Southeast to enhance sustainability, as well as investigating the potential benefits and efficacy of newly developed row and cover crop germplasm adapted for drought and heat stress.
