Description
Kevin Bradley conducts research and extension projects in the area of weed management in corn, soybean, wheat, pastures and forages.

Bradley’s primary extension objectives are to:

Develop cost-effective and environmentally sound weed management systems for use in agronomic crops and forages.
To provide timely and accurate weed control information and recommendations to regional extension specialists, agribusiness representatives and growers throughout Missouri.

Specific extension activities include presentations at field days and grower meetings, writing newsletter articles on topics of recent concern, answering questions at weekly teleconferences and conducting weed and herbicide training sessions.

In addition to evaluating new herbicides and weed management techniques, Bradley's applied research programs focus on:

The development of weed management programs for use in conventional and herbicide-tolerant cropping systems.
The influence of weeds on forage yield and quality in Missouri’s pastures and hay fields.
The interactions that occur between weeds, insects and diseases in agronomic crops.
