Autorenporträt

The Editor: Sharon A. Clay, PhD., is a professor of weed science at South Dakota State University where she has research and teaching responsibilities. She received a B.S. degree in Horticulture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1977, an M.S. degree in Plant Science from the University of Idaho in 1983 examining barley variety sensitivity to various herbicides, and a Ph.D. in Agronomy from the University of Minnesota in 1987 where she examined weed management in wild rice production systems of northern Minnesota. She has conducted weed management studies in range and cropping systems that include corn, soybean, wheat, barley, wild rice, flax, and sunflower, as well as studies in weed physiology and site specific weed management strategies. Dr. Clay has published over 100 scientific articles and has served on the editorial boards for Agronomy Journal, Weed Science, and Site-Specific Management Guidelines. Dr. Clay has served on numerous national committees and review panels and has active memberships in, and has served as president of the SD Chapters of the honorary societies Sigma Xi and Gamma Sigma Delta. She served as the chairperson of the Agricultural Systems division in the American Society of Agronomy, participated in numerous ASA committees, was elected to ASA Fellow in 2009, and has held several positions in the Weed Science Society of America.
