Exploring sustainable weed management through international collaboration
In this blog post, David Kottelenberg shares insights from his recent research exchange at Cornell University, supported by the EWRS travel grant for bi-lateral cooperation.
Hosted by the Soil and Crop Sciences group, David collaborated on a project investigating how weed functional traits influence cereal-legume intercrop performance and weed suppression. His visit included fieldwork, academic presentations, and the development of a functional-structural plant model. The experience not only advanced his research but also fostered new professional connections and ideas for future collaboration. Read on to discover how this exchange is contributing to more sustainable and ecologically informed weed management strategies.
