Giovani Antoniaci Caputo, a student from our Agronomy School, has won the John Jachetta Undergraduate Research Award given by the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) for his research work entitled “Screening of Sweetpotato Cultivars for Allelopathic Activity Against Weeds.” For 28 years, the WSSA has been awarding exceptional works developed by undergraduate students in this field, which means that the research carried out by Mr Caputo is highly significant for other American students.
