Professor Martin Hare is a faculty member at Harper Adams University, serving as Director of Postgraduate Research and Associate Head of the Agriculture and Environment Department. His roles include overseeing postgraduate research programs and managing departmental operations. He holds academic appointments in crop science and plant pathology, focusing on agricultural challenges such as fungal pathogens, nematode control, and drought tolerance mechanisms.
Research interests span crop protection strategies using biopesticides (e.g., isothiocyanates from Brassicaceae), antitranspirant applications to mitigate drought effects in rapeseed and wheat, and fungal pathogen biology (e.g., Fusarium langsethiae in oats and wheat). Recent work emphasizes optimizing antitranspirant spray coverage, dose-response relationships, and CO2 impacts on plant physiology under varying water conditions.
His scholarly contributions include over 30 peer-reviewed articles since 2000, with a focus on crop improvement, disease management, and sustainable agricultural practices. Collaborative studies on green roof growing media and soil moisture dynamics reflect his interdisciplinary approach to environmental challenges. Professional memberships include Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
