My research program focuses on development and support of weed management tactics that address grower economic growth while enhancing environmental stewardship for a viable and sustainable agriculture. I believe that understanding weed biology and ecology is a key to effective weed management in agricultural fields. Currently, we have ongoing studies on weed management in dry bulb onions, sugar beets, corn, potato, alfalfa, and dry beans in the irrigated fields of Eastern Oregon.

(2021) Pigweeds: Current and Emerging Weed Threats in the Pacific Northwest Pigweed is an invasive plant pest usually found in disturbed areas, like farmland and along roadsides and fencelines. Because their aggressiveness can reduce crop yields, this PNW discusses how to prevent or curtail their spread in the region by learning how to identify them, their impacts, and the most effective control options (sanitation, mechanical, cultural, and herbicidal methods).
