Illinois weed scientist recognized with national award

The head of the University of Illinois’ crop science department has received a Fellow award from the Weed Science Society of America.

Adam Davis was presented with the society’s highest honor during its annual meeting last week for his contributions to weed science, especially his use of ecological and quantitative principles to inform effective weed management.

Davis tells Brownfield he credits his past mentors and current colleagues for helping him receive the honor.
