UC Weed Science (weed control, management, ecology, and minutia)

I was inspired by Sarah Morran's blog post "Introducing new researchers in the UC Davis Weed Science Group" and decided to look at the other end of the spectrum.

Dr. Mohsen Mesgaran, who joined the Weed Science Group this year as our weed ecophysiologist, found this plant growing on the research farm at UC Davis. African spiderflower is a summer annual broadleaf plant in the caper family (Cleomaceae), growing up to 3 ft tall and wide.

It may be widely understood that most aquatic and wetland weeds are spread by water currents, but the patchwork of colonizing exotic plants can be puzzling.

Why is weed identification important? Simply stated, because not all management strategies are equally effective against all weed species.
