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

The Weed Research and Information Center previously produced three instructional videos intended for the general public, or more specifically, the Master Gardener program. These videos focused on weed identification tools, principles of urban weed control, and urban weed control tools.

The California Weed Science Society (CWSS) is offering scholarships to support undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in weed or invasive plant management.

I have a question from a PCA regarding physical damage from burning nettle on vegetables. I have never heard of this.

CalWeedMapper is a new website for mapping invasive plant spread and planning regional management strategies (calweedmapper.calflora.org). Users generate a report for their region that synthesizes information into three types of strategic opportunities: surveillance, eradication and containment.

I have to admit to having more than just a few weeds in my garden at this time of year. The most common weed is Annual Bluegrass, Poa annua which is now freely going to seed so I can plan to have another investation next spring.
