A repost and link today to a recent Weed Science Society of America press release entitled: "WSSA Scientists Stress the Importance of Early Response to Invasive Weeds" Click the link to go to the full article.

MSMA is an old herbicide that was sold for both the professional market for postemergence broadleaf and some grasses control in turf. It was also available in the home use market primarily for crabgrass management.

My second WSWS post today is intended to provide folks a sense of the involvement of UC weed scientists in the WSWS meeting and organization. I'll just run through a few UC highlights from the 66th WSWS meeting program for those that may not have been able to attend the meeting.

Two posts today to share news about the 66th annual meeting of the Western Society of Weed Science (WSWS) last week in San Diego. This first post will have links to WSWS news and information: WSWS webpage: http://www.wsweedscience.org/ WSWS-sponsored publications: http://www.wsweedscience.

Dr. Tom Lanini was made a Fellow of the Western Society of Weed Science (WSWS) in March 2013 at the annual meeting in San Diego. Tom is a Cooperative Extension Weed Ecologist in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of California, Davis.
