Fabian Menalled
Extension Crop Weed Specialist, Fabian Menalled, received a BS in Ecology from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina and a PhD from the University of Massachusetts. Menalled was employed for nearly ten years at Michigan State University and Iowa State University. In 2004, he joined the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences at Montana State University. He is currently an Associate Professor in Weed Ecology and Management and focuses his research and extension on small grain ecosystems.
His research focuses on understanding the ecological basis of sustainable agriculture and integrated weed management. This program embraces a multi-disciplinary approach to address both basic and applied problems facing the agricultural communities of Montana. Core areas of research include 1) Patterns and functional importance of weed diversity in Montana's cropping system, 2) Ecology and management of herbicide resistance, 3) Development of integrated weed management practices, 4) Role of wheat variety, weed biotype, and stress on virus transmission and crop-weed competitive interactions, and 5) Evaluation of new and existing herbicides for weed management and crop safety. The knowledge generated in these studies has direct importance to Montana's agriculture as it helps in the design sustainable weed management programs.
Join Fabain Menalled on Tuesday, February 4th at 9:00 am. The information given during Menalled's presentation will allow you to make informed decisions related to weed management and sustainable agriculture.
