California Weed Science Society Journal articles

Nov 13, 2011

Today I thought I'd put in a plug for the California Weed Science Society (CWSS) annual meeting to be held January 23-25, 2012 in Santa Barbara.  Information on the meeting can be found in the October newsletter at: http://www.cwss.org/PDF/CWSS_Fall_2011_Newsletter.pdf and links to the Program and Registration can be found at: http://www.cwss.org/.  The main CWSS page also has information on a new Photo Contest, the Student Paper and Poster Contest, the Student Scholarship Program, and Awards and Honors presented to students and members last year.

Also, I've attached a link to the CWSS Journal, an online report published several times each year to present current research and extension information relevent to California weed managers and researchers.  In this issue (http://www.cwss.org/PDF/CWSS_5th_edition.pdf and attached below) focused on orchard and vineyard crops, you can read articles on:

1. Maximizing Herbicide Performance in Tree, Nut, and Vine Crops.  Kurt Hembree, UCCE Fresno County
2. Alion: A New Pre-Emergent herbicide for the TNV Market. Ryan Allen, Bayer CropScience
3. Treevix Herbicide for Post Emergent Weed Control in Tree Crops. Curtis Rainbolt, BASF Corporation
