Project Description
The objective of this research project is to test if winter cover crop residues can make weed species more susceptible to herbicides. We will conduct a greenhouse experiment and test two herbicide products on two problematic weed species in Texas. There will also be opportunities to work on side projects in the lab and in the field.
