The latest information on weed control will be presented at the Weed Management in Agronomic Crops for a Changing Environment online event on Monday, Nov. 15, 2021 from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM (Pacific Time.) The lineup of UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE), UC Davis and Fresno State experts will discuss why we see horseweed and hairy fleabane in most parts of California year-round, herbicide trials in drill-seeded rice, integrated weed management for water-seeded rice, Italian ryegrass control in small grains, cover crops and weed management, and alternatives for managing weeds in alfalfa within changing pesticide regulations.

Common chickweed (Stellaria media) (Figure 1) is a winter annual found throughout California and considered to be one of the most common broadleaf weeds infesting cereal crops (also referred as small grains) in the state (Wilen 2006). Herbicides can provide effective control of chickweed; however, overreliance on a single herbicide (or group of herbicides with the same site of action), is likely to result in resistance to that herbicide (or group of herbicides) (Tranel and Wright 2017). Even though herbicide-resistant common chickweed populations have not been confirmed in California, lack of effective control with post-emergence applications of the ALS-inhibiting herbicides pyroxsulam (Simplicity) and tribenuron (Express...

About me.
I grew up in a small coal mining town in central Pennsylvania. While working on my undergraduate degree, I became intrigued by plants and plant biology following a Botany class field trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. Two years later I was lucky enough to secure an internship at that same garden. I worked in the horticulture industry for three years before beginning my master's degree in the field of plant pathology at the University of Delaware. I changed my area...
