Areas of expertise
About
My research interests are in the area of herbicide interactions in crops, weeds, and soil. Currently, my lab is focusing on fate of cotton herbicides in surface and groundwater; persistence of new classes of peanut herbicides; physiology of herbicide-resistant crops; physiology of acetolactate-synthase inhibiting herbicides on Cyperus spp.; and the integration of herbicide-resistant crops in weed management systems in Georgia, particularly with corn, cotton, and soybean
