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

A repost of an article by Luis Espino (UCCE Farm Advisor, Colusa Co) on the UC Rice Blog. You can see the originl post HERE He also had a post on a similar topic earlier HERE that had some results from Albert Fischer and Jim Eckert's research on smallflower umbrella sedge.

Join UC Farm Advisor Janet Caprile for an overview of weed management techniques for perennial and annual cropping systems that don't rely on synthetic herbicides or chemicals. Wednesday, July 31, 2013 Livermore, California For more information, click HERE.

I thought I share a rundown of last week's 57th Annual Weed Day hosted by the UC Davis Weed Science Program and the UC Weed Research and Information Center. This year the program was organized and (mostly) hosted by CE Weed Specialist Joe DiTomaso.

Another link to the newest issue of the California Weed Science Society (CWSS) Research Update and News. (June 2013, Vol 9, Number 2).

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.
