\n\t\tMarcelo Zimmer\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

Marcelo Zimmer is originally from a small family farm in southern Brazil and received his Bachelor’s degree in Agronomy in 2014 from the Federal University of Pelotas (Brazil).\u00a0\u00a0In 2015, Marcelo joined the Purdue Weed Science Lab as a Master’s student under the supervision of Dr. Bill Johnson, where he researched the management of glyphosate-resistant horseweed utilizing a new herbicide active ingredient from Dow AgroSciences [halauxifen-methyl (Elevore)], graduating in 2017.\u00a0\u00a0Currently, Marcelo works as a Weed Science Program Specialist, while also pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Weed Science.\u00a0\u00a0His research is investigating the basis for the antagonism of synthetic auxins (2,4-D and dicamba) on the control of volunteer corn using ACCase-inhibiting herbicides (clethodim and quizalofop). His research is also addressing the use of new site-specific herbicide application technologies (See and Spray Ultimate) to resolve herbicide antagonism issues.<\/p>\n
