Good Plant Gone Bad, and What We Can Do About It
Good Plant Gone Bad, and What We Can Do About It

John Cardina dwarfed by velvetleaf plants in an OARDC greenhouse. A professor in the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science, Cardina is studying how a plant evolves from a crop to a weed. He's using seeds from his research collection and from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to do it. Grown for centuries for its fiber, velvetleaf has turned into a troublesome weed, especially in row crops.
