John K. Soteres, Ph.D.

Expert Bio

I have worked in weed science including herbicide evaluation and discovery since receiving my Ph.D. in agronomy in 1981. My area of focus today is working with university, government, and private sector weed scientists around the world to develop research programs to better understand the causes and ways to manage herbicide resistance and to develop and implement farmer directed stewardship programs. I am active in both U.S. and international weed science societies that are focused on the science of weed management including the biology of weeds, non-chemical weed control options, herbicide physiology and use, and the genetics and causes of weed resistance.
