| Project: | Neuse River Crop Management |
| Participants: | NC State |
| Objective: | Develop a sound scientific and economic basis for herbicide and fertilizer treatments on corn, cotton, wheat, and soybeans, which account for 84% of planted acres in the Neuse River Basin. Targeted and efficient use of nutrients and herbicides is critical to both saving growers money and improving water quality in the Neuse. |

| Project: | Implementing a Weed Management Decision Support System Throughout the Southern Region, USDA/CSREES, Sept. 2000 - Sept. 2002 (G. G. Wilkerson, H. M. Linker, J. Wilcut, A. Wossink) |
| Participants: | Cooperators from 10 Southern states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana,Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas) |
| Objective: | Conduct training sessions for extension personnel, consultants, and growers on use of HADSS. Also conduct on-farm trials to demonstrate its usefulness. An economist is studying the potential impacts of HADSS implementation across the Southern region. |
