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

I recently received an email notification about a newly identified vineyard disease called grapevine redblotch. Although this is not really a weed science issue, I thought the symptoms might be confused with other biotic and abiotic problems (such as herbicides).

Before I go out the door for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I wanted to share a link to the recent Western IPM Center newsletter, The Western Front.

I received a press release this week from the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) that I thought would be interesting to repost here.

One of my research focus areas over the past few years has been related to soil fumigation issues, specifically focused on methyl bromide alternatives for the tree and vine nursery industry. I described some of this nursery work in a post late last year.

A quick post today to share a link to the recently revised "UC IPM Pest Management Guidelines for Pear" (UC ANR Publication #3455). You can download the whole document as a pdf here, or use it online at the above link.
