UC Weed Science (weed control, management, ecology, and minutia)
I was sent a short article from Science this week that discussed the impact of biotech crops on organic farms. The article is entitled "Can Biotech and Organic Farmers Get Along?" discusses issues with the science and politics surrounding GMO crops and gene flow to organic crops.
We commonly select for specific weeds in agricultural systems because of the neccessary managment practices. Cultivation, fertilization, irrigation, weed management, etc all can affect the weeds in a given field.

Yesterday, I attended the Southern San Joaquin Valley Olive Day organized by UC Cooperative Extension orchard systems farm advisor, Elizabeth Fichtner (UCCE Tulare Co).
I visited a couple of almond orchard trials this week and thought I'd share a few photos. First, I ran across a weed that I haven't encountered before - alkali mallow (Malvella leprosa).
