A quick post today to share a link to the recently revised "UC IPM Pest Management Guidelines for Kiwifruit" (UC ANR Publication #3449). You can download the whole document as a pdf here, or use it online at the above link.
Although there are also well-written sections on general kiwi pest management, as well as specific information on insects, mites, and diseases of kiwifruit, since this is the Weed Science blog, I'd better post a link directly to the Integrated Weed Management section...

The book covers non-chemical and chemical control options for...

Today, instead of posting something about weed control and herbicide resistance in orchards and vineyards, I thought I'd go out on a limb and discuss weed management and herbicide resistance in... alfalfa! (Yes, it gets a little wild around the holidays at UC Weed Science...)
Anyway, while working on some articles for an upcoming volume of the California Weed Science Society Journal (CWSSJ), I was reminded of a really nice UCANR publication "Avoiding Weed Shifts and Weed Resistance in Roundup Ready Alfalfa Systems" by S....

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.
The October 2012 edition had a really nice writeup about the glyphosate-resistant weed workshops and IPM publications that I mentioned in my October 29 post.
