About
Amy Fulcher is a leading researcher in sustainable horticulture and integrated pest management, with a focus on reducing pesticide use in nursery and orchard systems. Her major contributions center on the development and validation of intelligent spray technology, which uses real-time sensor data to precisely target pesticide applications, minimizing off-target drift and chemical waste. This work, highlighted in her 2023 paper presented at the XXXI International Horticultural Congress, demonstrates how smart systems can maintain pest control efficacy while significantly lowering application rates—a critical advance for environmental stewardship and grower profitability. Though her citation count is still growing, Fulcher’s research has already influenced best management practices in the green industry, bridging precision agriculture with practical, field-ready solutions. She is also recognized for her extension efforts, translating complex technologies into accessible guidelines for nursery and orchard managers. By combining engineering, entomology, and horticulture, Fulcher is shaping a future where pest management is both effective and ecologically responsible.
