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

The 59th annual Weed Day at UC Davis will be held next week on Thursday July 16th. It's not too late to register but there are only a few spots left before we reach capacity.

A quick post today to share a link to the recently revised "UC IPM Pest Management Guidelines for Avocado" (UC ANR Publication #3436).

It's the 4th of July! Time for fireworks! (Yay!) Time for picnics! (Yay!) Time for parades! (Yay!) Time for weeds! (Huh? What?) That's right, weeds. While it is true that many problem pest plant species were imported from Europe and Asia, a lot are also home-grown.

When we think about weed control in crop production, we often think about 'short-term' result, i.e. weed control after 30 days, weed control after 60 days, weed control at harvest, etc.

From the Davis Enterprise | June 26, 2015 Photojournalist Clyde Elmore will host a photographic exhibit from Monday, July 6, through Aug. 28 at the Buehler Alumni Center, off Mrak Hall Drive on the UC Davis campus. This will be the seventh annual exhibit of wildlife and landscape images.
