Research
My team conducts applied research that leads to weed management recommendations in agronomic crops. We focus on managing herbicide-resistant weeds, which are a major threat to sustainable crop production. Current projects are investigating cover crops and other non-chemical control methods and optimizing residual herbicide effectiveness.
