Developing improved weed management systems
that are efficient and environmentally safe

The mission of the Invasive Weed Management Unit is to develop improved weed management systems that are efficient and environmentally safe. To accomplish this mission, our projects are aimed toward collection of fundamental data regarding weeds, chemicals and their behavior, and then developing and enhancing systems for improved weed management.

Research projects in this management unit include:

developing biological/ecological knowledge for enhancing weed management systems

minor use weed management

factors influencing herbicide sorption, degradation and bound residue formation related to water quality.
