I am interested in weed ecology in general. I worked on Galium species and Bromus diandrus biology. I contributed to the characterization of weed diversity in dryland cereals, to understand the effects of management on plant diversity. I am also involved in understanding the role of seed predation by harvester ants on weed populations dynamics. I study the management of herbicide resistant Papaver rhoeas in cereals and 2,4-D resistance.
