The main interests of Laboratory of Weed Science include research, consultancy and teaching within two major areas: Weed Science and Plant Physiology. The laboratory of weed science focuses on weed biology, weed management, weed ecology (crops-weeds interactions), organic and integrated weed management, herbicides resistance and efficiency. Concerning Plant Physiology, research interests include plant responses/adaptations to abiotic stress factors as well as the use of satellite imagery for the assessment of major physiological processes and diagnostic mapping of crops.
