Research programs of the weed physiology laboratory in the Agronomy Department encompass weed problems in crop and rangeland systems emphasizing herbicide mode of action and fate of herbicides in plants and the environment. Specifically, the research is focused in the area of herbicide resistance including mechanisms and inheritance of herbicide resistance in weeds, the effect of elevated temperature on herbicide efficacy and identification of sources of herbicide tolerance in crops.
Jugulam Lab in the Department of Agronomy, Kansas State University focuses on a variety of research programs in weed science including:
- Understand the physiological, biochemical, genetic and molecular mechanisms of herbicide resistance in weeds
- Investigation of the effect of elevated temperature on herbicide efficacy
- Identification of sources of herbicide tolerance in crops
