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

Talking Points: Weed control failures can and do occur. Weed control failures occur for many reasons, including improper treatment applications and plant size and development at the time of treatment. Plants that aren't completely controlled can produce viable seed and re-infest fields.

Onionweed (Asphodelus fistulosus) is an attractive but very difficult to control weed that is relatively common along highways, some irrigation right of ways and other areas in Southern California.

Aquatic weed propagules pose a serious long-term management problem. Curlyleaf pondweed (Potamogeton crispus) produces numerous asexual propagules that make traditional management difficult.

Based on the bestselling Weeds of California and Other Western States, the Weed Pest Identification and Monitoring Cards is the perfect pocket-sized companion for anyone working in the field. These 48 cards cover the most common weeds, grouped into 8 categories for easy identification.
