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

During the last few years, one of my core research areas has included several projects related to preplant soil fumigation in collaboration with a number of UC, USDA-ARS, and industry researchers.

A few months ago I compiled some statistics on the acreage and value of tree and vine crops in California and put together a simple map of where the main production areas are located.

I've made a couple posts about herbicide resistant weeds but I thought today would be a good time to go back to the basics for a moment. Occasionally, there is some confusion about the definitions of a "resistant" weed versus a "tolerant" weed.

Happy New Year! Today I thought I'd attach a poster presentation from the recent 38th Annual Almond Industry Conference.

This is one part follow up to my previous post on glyphosate resistance and one part test of a tool to imbed articles in the blog. The above frame has a 2008 report that Anil Shrestha, Kurt Hembree, and I wrote for California Agriculture on our glyphosate-resistant hairy fleabane work.
