Weed Ecology and Management

Eric Gallandt

My research program at the University of Maine focuses on managing weeds in organic farming systems, with a particular emphasis on the ecology and population dynamics of annual weeds.  Our research projects address a range of questions from the more theoretical, “does soil quality affect seed persistence,” to the applied, “can flame weeding kill weed seeds.”

My aim with this research blog is to share our experiences from some of our applied projects.
