My objective in extension programming is to develop information about weed biology, ecology and herbicides that can be used by agricultural clientele to manage weeds with cost efficiency and environmental sensitivity. Management systems that emphasize a combination of alternative strategies and conventional technology are the primary goal. Research is developed to support the extension program responsibilities. I also have administrative responsibilities.
