RECENT WSSA PRESS RELEASES
PLANT LIFE ON PANDORA
Scientist Jodie Holt typically spends her days researching thistles and other invasive weeds that can play havoc on planet Earth. But when the producers of the blockbuster
Avatar
called, she suddenly found herself immersed in the lush plant life of Pandora, the remote moon where much of the film’s action is based.
THE IR-4 PROJECT: PROMOTING EFFECTIVE WEED CONTROL FOR FOOD, FLOWERS AND SEASONAL FAVORITES
Hundreds of government officials, growers, agricultural researchers and extension personnel gathered recently to make decisions that will impact the quality and quantity of the fruits and vegetables on our tables and the ornamental plants that beautify our landscapes. They were determining 2010-2011 research priorities for the Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), an organization launched more than four decades ago by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. IR-4 is responsible for conducting residue studies and investigating the safety and effectiveness of new, reduced-risk herbicides, insecticides and fungicides that can help growers of specialty crops successfully manage pests and improve yields.
