Rate My Professor Lovreet Shergill

Dr. Shergill's research specializations encompass weed biology, ecology, physiology, herbicide resistance, and integrated weed management strategies tailored to North American cropping systems. His work addresses critical challenges such as managing herbicide-resistant weeds like waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) and promoting sustainable practices including harvest weed seed control (HWSC) and precision herbicide application. Notable publications include: "Investigations of 2,4-D and multiple herbicide resistance in a Missouri waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) population" (Weed Science, 2018, 96 citations); "Molecular and physiological characterization of six-way resistance in an Amaranthus tuberculatus var. rudis biotype from Missouri" (Pest Management Science, 2018, 55 citations); "Current outlook and future research needs for harvest weed seed control in North American cropping systems" (Pest Management Science, 2020, 49 citations); "Seed-shattering phenology at soybean harvest of economically important weeds in multiple regions of the United States. Part 1: Broadleaf species" (Weed Science, 2021, 45 citations); and "Integration of residual herbicides with cover crop termination in soybean" (Weed Technology, 2020, 44 citations). At MSU, he co-authored the extension publication "Waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus): Biology, Identification, and Management" and has presented on topics like herbicide-resistant weeds at field days and webinars, including collaborations with MSU Extension on invasive pigweeds. Dr. Shergill advises graduate students, such as those in Land Resources and Environmental Sciences, and contributes to regional efforts in sustainable agriculture.
