My research program focuses on the development of precision weed management programs in corn, soybean, edible bean and cereals to improve the level of weed control, reduce crop injury, increase crop yield and maximize net returns to Ontario producers. Recent or current projects include:
Crop tolerance and weed management in corn, soybean, edible beans and cereals
Integrated weed management in edible beans
Effect of time of day on herbicide performance
Benefits of residual herbicides in Roundup Ready crops
Control of problem weeds in corn, soybean and wheat
