معرفی
Wesley Everman is a Professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences at North Carolina State University, affiliated with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. His research focuses on weed science, herbicide resistance, and integrated pest management in agronomic crops like soybean and wheat. He contributes to extension publications, including the North Carolina Soybean Production Guide and chemical weed control guides. His work emphasizes sustainable practices such as cover crops and precision herbicide application.
Research Interests: Dr. Everman's expertise spans herbicide resistance mechanisms, weed-crop competition dynamics, and the development of integrated weed management strategies. His recent studies address glufosinate and glyphosate resistance in Palmer amaranth, Italian ryegrass control in winter wheat, and the role of cover crops in suppressing weeds and improving soil health. He employs advanced technologies like spectral reflectance and computer vision for real-time weed detection and classification.
Publications & Extension: He co-authored key publications on soybean herbicide injury, chemical weed control in field crops, and fertilizer use recommendations. His work bridges academic research with farmer applications, emphasizing practical solutions for North Carolina growers. Collaborations include developing digital platforms for field problem-solving and evaluating RNAi technologies for future weed management.
