Over the last few years, several of my UC Davis, CSU-Fresno, and USDA-ARS collaborators and I have been involved in research related to using steam heat to thermally disinfest soil as an alternative to methyl bromide fumigation.
Recently I was reminded that there is no more important fundamental to weed control than being able to identify your weed problem. This summer, I moved to a different house and have slowly been working on little projects that arise.
