Dave Stoltenberg is a Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, specializing in Plant Agroecosystem Sciences. His current research focuses on weed ecology management, specifically the selection, persistence, and spread of herbicide-resistant weeds. He investigates mechanisms of herbicide resistance, with a particular emphasis on species such as giant ragweed, common waterhemp, and Palmer amaranth. Stoltenberg's research also explores the dynamics of weed communities in systems involving Kernza®, an intermediate wheatgrass, aiming to improve weed suppression strategies. In addition to his research, he teaches Agronomy 300 Cropping Systems, where he covers environmental impacts and profitability in Midwest crop production systems through an agroecological lens. His teaching emphasizes ecological concepts to understand the services and tradeoffs of cropping systems, addressing topics like agricultural intensification, agroecosystem structure and function, technology adoption, soil erosion, conservation, and nutrient dynamics.
