The Rice Weed Course is a one-day course focusing on issues associated with developing weed management strategies in California rice fields.
“This course provides a strong foundation for weed management in California rice, as well as a chance for discussion of ideas for dealing with resistance and emerging weed species” said Whitney Brim-DeForest, UCCE Rice Farm Advisor.
PROGRAM
This one-day course will include training on:
- emerging weed problems, such as red rice and winged primrose willow;
- planning an herbicide program for susceptible and herbicide-resistant weeds;
- hands-on early weed identification;
- field component on new and standard herbicide programs.
Participants will tour the rice weed science research plots on West Hamilton Road then head to the Rice Experiment Station for the remaining part of the program. **Be sure to BRING YOUR BOOTS**
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Pest control advisers, farm advisors, chemical company cooperators, college faculty and students, and regulatory officials should not miss this event. Space is limited to 60 people, so register early.
