Leonard B. Piveta studies weed science, focusing on how weeds like Palmer amaranth, barnyardgrass, and weedy rice develop resistance to herbicides, and how environmental conditions affect herbicide performance and drift. His work combines field trials with laboratory analysis of how herbicides are absorbed, moved, and broken down within plants, aiming to improve weed control strategies in crops such as rice, cotton, and soybean.
