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

I received notification recently that Rely 280 can now be used in California without growers being required to use a closed mixing and loading system. According to manufacturer representatives, a revised label has been approved by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation and the US-EPA.

Oregon State University is currently advertising a position for an Assistant Professor who will address Weed Management in Perennial Horticultural Crops. I'm excited about this position for a couple reasons.

I found out today that I previously misread the label of a new herbicide registered in several California orchard crops. Broadworks Herbicide (from Syngenta) was registered in fall 2015 on several citrus, stone fruit, and tree nut crops (but not every crop in those groups).

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Western Society of Weed Science last week down in Albuquerque, and it was a great time! As always there was quality information presented throughout the meeting along with great discussion about weeds inside and outside of the sessions.

If you ever wished you were part of the UC Cooperative Extension Weed Science team, this may be your big opportunity! Link to job posting: http://ucanr.edu/Jobs/Jobs_990/?jobnum=921 Link to all UCANR employment opportunities: http://ucanr.
