Jada Davis

Jada Davis is a Master’s student under the advisement of Dr. Bryan Young. She is originally from Homer, IL, and obtained her B.S. in Crop Sciences with a Crop Agribusiness focus from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2023. Her research focuses on evaluating a new encapsulated formulation of the PPO-inhibiting herbicide saflufenacil for weed management in corn. Her research objectives include:

1. Evaluating saflufenacil formulations versus other soil residual herbicides targeting broadleaf weed control and crop tolerance in corn.
2. Investigating the factors that influence saflufenacil release in the encapsulated formulation.
3. Evaluating an encapsulated saflufenacil plus pyroxasulfone premix program against other residual herbicide programs in corn.
