Horacio D. Lopez‐Nicora

Horacio D. Lopez-Nicora studies plant diseases affecting soybean and other crops, with a particular focus on plant-parasitic nematodes (microscopic worms that damage roots) and fungal pathogens such as Macrophomina and Sclerotinia. His work spans nematode identification and management, disease-related yield and economic loss estimation, and genomic analysis of pathogen populations, often combining field studies, lab genomics, and statistical modeling.

Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from just a few papers per year around 2017-2020 to around 20 in 2025, indicating an increasingly active and growing research output.
