BSPM: Research and Extension Emerging Opportunities
• Biofuels ▫ genomes of crop plants to
enhance biomass • Drought tolerance (molecular
genetics, field evaluation) ▫ crops ▫ crop competitors (weeds)
• Molecular basis of herbicide resistance in kochia and other problem weeds
![Page 15: Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management, Colorado State University · management theory and practice • Undergraduate students from many areas of interest LIFE 102 Attributes](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042221/5ec7642eb075612ca66dd901/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Many Opportunities for Cooperative Efforts – Some Examples
• Plant breeding for drought tolerance ▫ Short Course
• Plant breeding for pest resistance ▫ Graduate Training ▫ Research
• Pest management in dryland cropping systems (wheat and other crops) ▫ Short Course ▫ Graduate Training ▫ Research
• Management of invasive weeds and insects in non-crop areas ▫ Graduate Training ▫ Research
