Abstract

The three major needs in training weed scientists for a career in the agricultural industry are an understanding and appreciation for the screening and evaluation process, a thorough knowledge of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration requirements and procedures, and a clear picture of the scientific job opportunities available in the total industry, not just in chemical companies. These needs should be fulfilled during the early part of undergraduate studies so the student can design a program to prepare him/her for industry positions after B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. studies.
