- The federal Project Grant award, funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), is supporting research at Colorado State University to develop innovative methods to address herbicide resistance in problematic weeds. The $294,000 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, aims to produce research outcomes that can be applied to reverse herbicide resistance in weeds such as Palmer amaranth...
- The $180,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund a study examining how resistance to the herbicide glyphosate and insect herbivory may impact the evolution of the common morning glory, an agricultural weed. The principal investigator will conduct a field experiment and molecular biology research to identify the plant defense traits responsible for glyphosate and herbivory...
- This $200,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.329 Crop Protection and Pest Management Competitive Grants Program) will support integrated pest management research focused on controlling waterhemp, a highly problematic weed for soybean production in Wisconsin and the Midwest. The project will evaluate how cereal rye cover crops and preemergence herbicides can be combined to improve waterhemp control and...
- This $200,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329), focuses on improving weed management in agriculture through a multidisciplinary approach aligned with integrated pest management (IPM) principles. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include conducting field experiments to examine the impacts of diverse cropping systems,...
- This $729,268 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program will enable Montana State University to conduct research examining how high temperatures can impact the efficacy of herbicides and the resulting herbicide resistance in certain weed species. The project aims to build a scientific foundation for understanding the mechanisms behind this phenomenon, including quantifying the...
- This $221,241.77 Project Grant awarded on July 15, 2025 by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Crop Protection and Pest Management Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329) supports research by Louisiana State University Agricultural Center (LSU AgCenter) to develop integrated weed management systems for controlling herbicide-resistant pigweed species in soybean production. The key objectives are to 1) evaluate the effectiveness of non-chemical tactics like...
- This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant will fund research at Auburn University to evaluate the abundance and association of Epichloë spp. endophytes with the development of herbicide resistance in Italian ryegrass populations in Alabama. The project aims to understand the interactive effects of soil moisture, texture, temperature, and CO2...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) awarded a $650,000 project grant to Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division. The grant will fund the design and testing of a novel viral herbicide to selectively target and inhibit the growth of Palmer amaranth, an invasive weed that causes an estimated $33 billion in annual losses to U.S. agriculture. The project aims to develop a biocontainment system to restrict the virus's...
- This $407,593 federal Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Program (CFDA 10.310) will develop conceptual and empirical models of the U.S. agrochemical market. The analysis will utilize a novel empirical discrete-choice representation of farm-level demand for agrochemicals, incorporating both observed and unobserved heterogeneity. It will be based on a large proprietary dataset of pesticide choices by...
- This federal Project Grant award of $224,204, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, will support research to characterize the role of the rhizosphere microbiome in mitigating the impacts of auxinic herbicide drift on legume productivity and symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The principal investigator, PD Iriart, will use genomics techniques to assess how variation in the...
