My goal as a weed scientist is to identify practical and economical weed management solutions for Ontario growers. My research program objectives are to:
1. Identify control tactics for a broad spectrum of weeds in dry bean, corn, soybean, and cereals.
2. Confirm and characterize new cases of herbicide resistance in Ontario.
3. Optimize integrated weed management tactics for different systems.
4. Characterize the biological impact of new and emerging weeds.
5. Assess the fit of new weed control technology.
