Biography

Dr. Scott White is an Professor at Dalhousie University of Canada. Dr. Scott White earned a PhD. Dr. Scott White research interests are Weed science is a dynamic discipline driven by the successful synthesis of research into management strategies that can be implemented in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. As a weed scientist, I am interested in weed management in perennial cropping systems, integrating knowledge of weed population ecology and reproductive biology to improve weed management in these systems, the development and use of predictive models for improving the timing, efficiency and effectiveness of management practices, and maximizing the effectiveness of currently registered herbicide products in these systems. This approach requires a diverse research program that successfully works along a continuum of basic and applied research, and I feel this approach is essential to successfully managing diverse weed flora in systems with limited weed control options.
