Education:
2006 Ph.D. Agronomy (Minor: Statistics) – University of Wyoming 2003 M.S. Agronomy – University of Nebraska – Lincoln 2001 B.S. Agroecology – University of WyomingResearch:
My research program focuses on developing sustainable weed management programs in agronomic crops, especially sugarbeet, winter wheat, corn, and dry beans. Recent research projects include:
- shade avoidance responses in sugarbeet
- long-term management of jointed goatgrass in imidazolinone-resistant (Clearfield) winter wheat
- synergistic herbicide combinations for management of feral rye
- new herbicide options in proso millet
- effect of long-term glyphosate use in glyphosate-resistant (Roundup Ready) cropping systems
- use of ethofumesate in glyphosate-resistant (Roundup Ready) sugarbeet
- management of volunteer corn in dry beans and sugarbeet
- economics and eco-efficiency of conventional and glyphosate-resistant (Roundup Ready) sugarbeet production systems
- statistical modeling of herbicide absorption into plants
