MSU 2013 WSSA posters available

Thursday, February 7th, 2013

-E. Taylor-Hill

We just returned from Baltimore, MD (home of the 2013 Superbowl Champions) where we attended the 2013 Weed Science Society of America annual meeting. It was a great opportunity to look at weed related research from around the nation and beyond and to take a look at how the rise in herbicide resistant weeds seems to be impacting agriculture across the U.S. (look for a future blog on that).

Now that we are back I posted the 3 posters that we presented. Our topics included…

  • Influence of soil amendments on seed mortality of herbicide resistant Palmer amaranth
  • Volunteer glyphosate resistant (RR) corn control in RR sugarbeets
  • Cover crop influence on weed pressure in organic dry beans

Visit the Presented Research section to view the posters.
