| File Information | Weed Science Extension is in a period of change. Though there is decreased funding for extension in the United States and Europe, the number of programs including extension activities is increasing in developing countries as shown by World Bank funding. There is a perception problem with the name weed science; we need a strong, recognizable science name. Decreases in one-on-one contact method for teaching, fewer extension weed specialists, and the increased need for interdisciplinary projects to support Integrated Pest Management and Sustainable Agriculture will increase stresses on our positions. These factors also increase the challenge for weed specialists and extension advisors (agents) to become leaders in current programs, initiate new multidisciplinary programs, and choose those programs that will benefit our discipline. Our clientele and the method of communicating with them will change, presenting yet another challenge. |
