Juan Gonzalez (Virginia Tech / Environmental Horticulture & Crop/Soil Sciences ) was part of the IPREFER the 2021 Integrated Plant Systems – Undergraduate Research Experience.  He worked with our partner CoverCress, Inc. to develop a trait that will provide CoverCressTM seed  to grow and thrive on farm land where there is excessive residual herbicide left over from managing weeds during corn cultivation. This is a presentation Juan made at the August 2021 IPREFER annual meeting.
