Michael Dodde is a Ph.D. student in Michigan State University’s Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences under the advisement of Dr. Christy Sprague. He earned his M.S. in Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences from the University of Arkansas, where his research focused on identifying an atrazine alternative in corn and grain sorghum. He also worked with John Deere See & Spray™ technology on projects aimed at reducing atrazine use in corn. Michael’s Ph.D. research at Michigan State University focuses on integrating strip tillage and cover crops in Truvera sugarbeets, a new triple-stacked herbicide-tolerant trait that enables the use of glyphosate, glufosinate, and dicamba in the crop.
