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