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

UC Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor David Doll is organizing a "Central San Joaquin Valley Summer Almond Field Day" on June 1, 2012. More info HERE or in the agenda at the bottom of this post.

A quick repost this morning of a recent Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) press release about online databases and smartphone apps for tracking invasive weeds.

Introduction Weed seed are the means by which annual weeds reproduce and disperse. The seed buried in the soil is referred to as the seedbank. Most seed in the soil seedbank were produced in the same field or greenhouse.

The Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) announced its recent endorsement of a set of best management practices and recommendations to reduce the incidence and threat of herbicide resistant weeds to agricultural productivity.
