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

Today, I thought I'd share a set of photos from a herbicide symptomology demonstration that I conducted in fall 2013 for our UC Weed Science School (next scheduled for fall 2015) and more recently in spring 2014 for a training session with other UC Cooperative Extension personnel.

This post is a quick reminder that this is the last week for public comment on 123 proposed UC Cooperative Extension positions (closes July 21st). The proposed positions are listed at this website and you can read the 2-page proposal and see any comments by clicking on the position title.

Yesterday was the 58th Annual Weed Day hosted by the UC Davis Weed Science Program and the UC Weed Research and Information Center.

With summer kicking in, I thought it would be a good time to revisit organic herbicides. That's because most of these contact postemergent herbicides work better at higher temperatures than cooler temperatures.

At a meeting yesterday, Joe DiTomaso mentioned a new book: The Weed Agency written by Jim Geraghty.
