Alexander Menegat

Where do you work?

I work at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Crop Production Ecology

What is your main task?

I do research and teaching in weed ecology and weed management as well as in crop production systems.

What is your main interest in weed research?

My general research interests lie in the effects of agricultural practices on agroecosystem
functioning. Specifically, I focus on the impact of cropping system diversification on the composition of weed communities and how this influences agroecosystem functioning and the provisioning of ecosystem services.

Which activities do you plan to promote to reach the objectives of the Working Group?

I will support the working groups’ efforts in conducting joint data analysis and database
projects, as well as collaborative experiments. Additionally, I intend to initiate joint project proposals and contribute to the writing of joint articles.

Furthermore, I believe that expanding the membership of working groups is a crucial task. Therefore, I will actively promote our work beyond the confines of the EWRS.
