SPEAKERS:
Dr. Stanley Culpepper
University of Georgia
Dr. Stanley Culpepper is a professor in the Crop and Soil Science department at the University of Georgia. A native of North Carolina, he grew up on a bicentennial family farm producing corn, cotton, peanut, soybean and wheat. Georgia farmers have confirmed Palmer amaranth to be, by far, the most problematic pest of Georgia agriculture. Stanley believes that continued adoption of integrated programs utilizing sound management practices with diversity are paramount for economic success and long-term sustainability of our family farms. Continued research for improved management programs coupled with educational approaches that effectively communicate the results of this research remain paramount. Stanley’s ultimate goal is to develop and share sound science with family farms improving their sustainability.
Dr. Bryan Young
Purdue University
Dr. Bryan Young is a professor of weed science in the department of Botany and Plant Pathology at Purdue University. Bryan earned his bachelor’s degree in crop and soil science at Michigan State University and doctorate in crop science (specialization in weed science) from the University of Illinois. Bryan has held an academic appointment with teaching, research and outreach activities for over 22 years. Bryan’s research and education at Purdue focuses on weed biology and ecology, herbicide application technology and characterizing herbicide resistance in weeds. His goal is to bridge the basic and applied aspects of weed management research to improve weed management recommendations for crop producers and land managers.
Dr. Rodrigo Werle
University of Wisconsin
Rodrigo Werle is an assistant professor and extension cropping systems weed scientist in the Agronomy department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Rodrigo was born in a small farming community of Dutch immigrants in the state of São Paulo, in southeastern Brazil. His early passion for agriculture led him to study agronomy in Brazil and weed science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His research and extension program (WiscWeeds) focuses on agroecologically-based approaches to address sustainable weed management in corn, soybeans and small grains in Wisconsin and beyond. The program also focuses on weed management strategies that can help address herbicide resistance, protect water quality and increase food security.
