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

Don't miss "Weeds are Beautiful"--photo exhibit by Robert Norris, UC Davis Plant Sciences professor emeritus. Come see weeds up close and personal and meet Robert. Learn how the focus stacked photographs were taken.

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.
