The best and most expected event of the season!

The 2022 #WiscWeeds #Waterhemp Management Plot Tour at the O’Brien Family Farms is in the books! Many thanks to all involved! We couldn’t have asked for a better evening! @arnaman6 Ryan DeWerff 📷: Nikola Arsenijevic

Incredibly rewarding for me as #WiscWeeds PI to walk around UW Agronomy department & stumble upon our senior grad students & academic staff teaching, mentoring, & having high level research conversations with junior lab members! #TeamWork

Let the games begin! It’s that wonderful time of the year to get ready for North Central Weed Science Society meetings (Dec 5-8, 2022, St. Louis, MO). #WiscWeeds PhD student @JoseJuniorNunes will present an update on our multi-state United Soybean Board funded “planting green for pigweed management” project.

We are in Arlington, VA this week attending the WSSA #WSSA23 meetings! @JoseJuniorNunes Ahmadreza Mobli

.#WiscWeeds grad student Jose Junior Nunes strikes again: 2nd place PhD poster award WSSA #WSSA23 Congrats, Jose! “Cereal rye #covercrop impacted the fate of preemergence herbicides flumioxazin and pyroxasulfone in soybean” multi-state project funded by United Soybean Board

Cover Crops - Planting Green is out now! Sarah and Alyssa chat with Rodrigo Werle and his PhD student Jose Junior Nunes from the University of Madison-Wisconsin about cover crops!

Jose & I enjoyed chatting with Sarah Lancaster & Alyssa Essman WarAgainstWeedsPodcast podcast: waragainstweeds.libsyn.com/cover-crops-pl… Other than available soil moisture, proper planter setup is also critical for success of the soybean planting green system! 📷by Jose Junior Nunes showing what to avoid:

This is a very special paper for the #WiscWeeds lab! This research was conducted to address questions from our clientele regarding the planting green system, it became the foundation of Jose Junior Nunes' PhD program, all that during COVID-19. Congrats & thanks Nunes et al!

Interested to learn about Jose Junior Nunes' PhD research investigating the implications of cereal rye #covercrop adoption for #pigweed (Amaranthus spp.) management in #soybean production regions across the U.S.? Join us on March 14th at 9 AM (central time) via Zoom!

What a day! Thank you for everything Rodrigo Werle! I will always remember this memorable day with joy.

"On average, 5.2 Mg/ha (~4,500 lbs/acre) of dry cereal rye biomass was required to reduce #waterhemp density by 50%." Jose Junior Nunes et al (2024): Elucidating waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) suppression from cereal rye cover crop biomass. Weed Sci. doi.org/10.1017/wsc.20…

Thanks for the ride Rodrigo Werle!

According to #WiscWeeds research by Guilherme Chudzik & Jose Junior Nunes, >4,500 lbs of dry cereal rye #covercrop biomass (>30-inch tall rye) can provide tremendous weed suppression during the #soybean growing season Shawn Conley Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board United Soybean Board #PlantGreen
