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

Joe DiTomaso and I are supposed to monitor the effectiveness of a hydrilla treatment in a pond near Marysville. I usually work on rangeland, where things stay put - the plants don't float away, and the equipment doesn't sink out of sight.

A reminder to all who registered already that the 57th Annual UC Davis Weed Day is this Thursday (July 11th). I've attached the agenda for the morning field tour and the afternoon presentation schedule at the end of this post.

A link today to an article in the newest issue of the California Weed Science Society (CWSS) Research Update and News. (June 2013, Vol 9, Number 2) edited by UC Farm Advisor Steve Orloff.

Mark Lundy has joined UCCE as the agronomy advisor in Colusa, Sutter and Yuba counties, effective June 28. He will focus on forage crops, wheat, safflower, processing tomatoes, dry beans, corn, and hybrid seed crops.

Another link to a University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Field Day. Weed Science Farm Advisor John Roncoroni (Napa and surrounding counties) will be show and discuss the results of a wine grape herbicide trial at Hess Vineyards near American Canyon CA on July 17th.
