Weed Management & Crop Protection
The primary goals of the weed management program are to evaluate and develop cost-effective weed management programs and new technologies in alfalfa, corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, and wheat. Specific areas of research include herbicide evaluation, adjuvant comparisons with herbicides, and herbicide-resistant weed investigations and management strategies. It is imperative that these programs are cost effective and environmentally friendly.
Research in Weed Management and Crop Protection focuses on:
- Chemical grass and broadleaf weed control in crops
- Non-chemical management practices for grass and weed control
- Development and control of herbicide-resistant weed populations
- Effective use of spray adjuvants
- Experimental herbicide comparisons
