OHP adds Dr. Carlos Bográn to tech team
OHP continues to set the industry standard
by adding highly qualified and respected
people to its employee roster.
In the past few 
months, Dr. Carlos Bográn
has been functioning as OHP technical
manager, focusing on insecticide and fungicide
support and development on a national
level.
Carlos replaced former Director of Technical
Services Jeff Dobbs, who retired at the
end of 2012.
"We are so fortunate to find someone as qualified as Carlos," says Dan Stahl, OHP VP of marketing and business development. "He brings quite an impressive skill set to his position and has meshed beautifully with the OHP team." In his role with OHP, Carlos is continuing to provide education and training to nursery and greenhouse employees. "Carlos spent time educating growers in his former job and he continues that work with OHP," notes Stahl. "He is fluent in Spanish which is an added benefit in today's world of horticulture."
He joined OHP after 11 years as assistant and then associate professor and extension specialist in the departments of entomology and plant pathology, and microbiology at Texas A&M's AgriLife Extension Service in Bryan, TX. Carlos holds a doctorate degree in entomology from Texas A&M University and a master's degree in entomology from Iowa State University. In his 18 years in agricultural research and extension, Carlos has authored close to 100 articles in industry and scientific journals and extension publications.
David Barcel, OHP senior technical manager, is working in tandem with Carlos and continues to focus his efforts on herbicides and plant growth regulator (PGR) research and development.
