New international partnership established to combat weeds

April 19, 2021, 11:22 am
An international group of scientists and industry professionals, including Rothamsted Research, has launched an ambitious new project to combat weeds aimed at improved management of the most intractable species of weeds in the world.
Led by Colorado State University (CSU), The International Weed Genomics Consortium (IWGC) comprises 17 academic partners across seven countries and will develop genomic tools that fundamentally advance humanity’s approach to weeds and crops.
The €2 million consortium is supported by €900,000 in industry sponsorships and matching funds from the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR), a research and funding organisation established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
