Dr. Vijay Singh's Weed Science program at the Eastern Shore AREC is focused on fostering Virginia agriculture by developing innovative and sustainable weed management solutions for row crop and vegetable growers.  At the forefront of our research are management of herbicide-resistant weeds including common ragweed, horseweed, Palmer amaranth, and Italian ryegrass.  Additionally, our research will explore preemptive measures for avoiding herbicide resistance in the future.  It is also our mission to promote proper stewardship of new technology as it reaches the field.
