Terry Gentry is a Professor in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at Texas A&M University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. His research investigates soil contamination remediation, microbial ecology, and sustainable soil management practices.
Gentry's work examines how agricultural practices influence soil microbial communities and ecosystem functions. Current projects study cover crop effects on rhizosphere microbiomes, biochar applications for disease suppression, and regenerative agriculture approaches for improving soil health in semi-arid regions.
His research develops environmentally sustainable solutions for soil contamination including photocatalytic water remediation using nanowire foams and nanoparticle applications for enhanced crop production. Gentry also investigates extreme weather impacts on environmental microbiology, such as fecal indicator bacteria dynamics following Hurricane Harvey flooding.
Field studies focus on Texas agricultural systems including organic rice production, cotton farming, and peanut cultivation, examining nutrient management, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil health indicators.
