Course Description
Provides students with a detailed overview of herbicide chemistry and application. Topics will include biological and chemical properties of most commonly used herbicides, adjuvants for herbicides, environmental fate of herbicides, and details of the physiochemical factors affecting herbicide application.
Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
Graduate students will be required to read classic and/or recent
papers in herbicide chemistry assigned to them by the
instructor and turn in weekly assignments based on the papers.
Assignments will be designed to encourage critical thinking. To
enhance presentation and teaching skills, graduate students will
be required to make a presentation to the class on a recent
paper in herbicide chemistry chosen by the instructor. Graduate
students will also be required to write a term paper on a
current topic in herbicide chemistry. The topic for the term
paper will be chosen by the student in consultation with the
instructor. Students will need to demonstrate the ability to
critically read scientific papers and to integrate
scientific information from multiple sources.
