Recent Publications

Jennifer Wilhelm has recently co-authored "Farm, Fish, & Food Enterprise Viability in New Hampshire" as part of her work with the New Hampshire Food Alliance. "The Viability Initiative outlines challenges and opportunities for farmers, fishermen, and food entrepreneurs, and describes how the NH Food Alliance will collaborate within a network structure to support food enterprises and promote a growing, healthy food system that benefits all residents in New Hampshire."

A pdf of the full document document is available.

Recent Publications

Together with PSU's David Mortensen and BYU's Roger Koide our lab has been investigating the unintended or "indirect" effects of treating crop seeds with pesticides. This recent publication outlines how pretreating corn and soy seeds with insecticide and fungicides, may actually have an important impact on the weeds in the seedbank.

Evidence for indirect effects of pesticide seed treatments on weed seed banks in maize and soybean. Smith, R.G., L.W. Atwood, M.B. Morris, D.A. Mortensen, & R.T. Koide (2016). Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment 216 (2016): 269-273.

Recent Publications

Our group is happy to announce two recent publications:.

Cover-Crop Species as Distinct Biotic Filters in Weed Community Assembly.
Weed Science 2015. 63:282-295. 

We grew several cover crops species individually and together in mixture, and we discuss how cover crops may influence the composition of the weed community (their potential to "biologically filter" certain weed species). For more info, the abstract can be found here. Or contact us, if you are unable to access the full-text.

and

Effects of Living Mulch and Fertilizer on the Performance of Broccoli in Plasticulture.
HortScience 2015. 50(2):218-224.

Here we present the results of establishing a living mulch in a broccoli production system. December's post has a short write up about the field experiment, or please visit HortScience for more details.

Recent Publications

Our lab has several recent publications that we are excited to announce, including several that are freely available online. Please visit our publication page if you are interested!

In part, this latest work covers soil seed banks, perennial ryegrass diversity and productivity, succession, and the interactions between cover crops and the weed community.
