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

Spring canola acreage in Eastern Washington has increased dramatically over the past five years. Much of this increase has been driven by the inability of growers to control multiple herbicide-resistant Italian ryegrass in other crops, such as wheat and pulse crops.

The 2023 post-harvest season is upon us and it's time to prep for your fall/winter weed control activities.

I'll share some initial findings from our project, which explores the use of pulse electric fields to eliminate soil pests in hardwood nursery beds, with a particular focus on the impact on weed populations.
