Weed Science
The study of all methods for vegetation management such as cropping systems and herbicides. Research is ongoing in the following areas:
- grain crops - including corn, soybeans, wheat and canola
- grass pastures and forage legumes
- invasive weed control on non-crop sites
- herbicide selectivity, resistance and mechanisms of action
- integrated weed management
- cover crops
