Christina Voortman

I work for Dr. Mary Barbercheck. Currently, we're working on an interdisciplinary research project that focuses on different weed management strategies in organic feed production. We're interested in how these different strategies effect weed populations, arthropod number and diversity, soil chemical, physical, and biological properties, and crop yield. My responsibilities include the planning and implementation of field work, the processing of research samples in the lab, identification of macroarthropods, the maintenance of nematode cultures, and maintenance on our organic records.
