About
Born in Coeyman's Hollow, Albany County, New York, on March 26, 1865, Shear was the first to describe the grass Bromus arizonicus. He was a pioneer in the study of pathogenic fungi who studied crop diseases and developed control measures for treatment of economically-important crops such as cranberries, grapes and cotton. Shear edited the exsiccata series New York fungi. He played a pivotal role in creating the American Phytopathological Society, founded in 1908.
