Most of the weeds that are present in your pastures as we approach summer will probably be perennials plus some annuals that you missed with your initial chemical application (if there was one). The transition from spring to summer is the right time of year for brush control, as long as the weather is good.

If early-season weeds are not controlled, they will compete with desirable forages for space, nutrients, moisture and sunlight.

A well-managed and properly stocked pasture should not need herbicides every year. A little time spent scouting may save you a lot of unnecessary time and money on spraying when your weed population is not high enough to justify it.

Burns conducted during the summer months can be very beneficial for improving wildlife habitat, livestock forage and brush management.

As I reflect back on my summer, I realize how much technology makes my daily research not only possible but more efficient.

Microdissection is used when we want to examine the RNA or composition of a specific cell type that is difficult to separate normally.

Transforming bacteria helps us test a myriad of scientific theories, and it's a surprisingly easy technique to use.

History runs deep in our work atmosphere.
