UC Weed Science (weed control, management, ecology, and minutia)

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.

If youve ever taken target practice, you probably know that accuracy and precision are not necessarily the same things a rifle that always shoots low and to the left of the bulls-eye is precise but is not accurate. The same idea holds true for herbicide applications.

On November 9, weed biology and management information will be presented at the Salinas Valley Weed School 2010 (contact: Richard Smith). For more information check the calendar section at the UC Cooperative ExtensionMonterey County website. http://cemonterey.ucdavis.

*This was an article that Doug Munier and I put together and tweaked for a couple orchard crop newsletters in summer/fall 2010. I thought I'd repost it here for posterity...

I am a Cooperative Extension Weed Specialist at UC Davis and decided to start this blog as a bit of an extension experiment.
