Happy New Year! Its too cold in Tulelake for field work, so Im busy summarizing 2013 research results. Today I posted a progress report on the Intermountain Research and Extension Center (IREC) website summarizing results for our 2013 onion weed control research.

Introduction: According to the most recent statistics, the United States (US) was the world's sixth largest producer of melons, with a significant proportion (>50%) of the country's production occurring in California.

A few weeks ago, a new herbicide from FMC Corporation was registered for use in some California orchard and vineyard crops.

Ho Ho Holy Cow its going to be cold (in other parts of the country) this holiday break. Winter and the New Year are great times to think about preventing weed management problems.
