Weed IPM

Integrated pest management for weeds uses a diversity of tactics to control weeds species based on their biology, while minimizing risks to human and environmental health.

Research Project

Weed Seedbank Analyses for New York State

Funded by SARE, this three-year project, led by Cornell IPM’s Bryan Brown, included collaborations with 51 farms across New York State. Soil samples were collected at each site, then weeds were germinated, identified and researched to help growers develop individualized management plans.
