Almond industry focus on herbicide resistance management (article)

Apr 26, 2012

This a link to an article in Western Farm Press about herbicide resistance in almond orchards.  The article is a synopsis that Bob Curtis wrote about a presentation I made as part of a "What's new in Almond Pest Management" along with Drs. Frank Zalom and Jim Adaskaveg at the most recent Almond Conference in Modesto.

The article is available here:

and, according to Bob: "Growers attending last year’s Almond Conference heard an update on almond weed management from UC Extension weed specialist Brad Hanson that not only provided new information but also solid basics and online resources to fine-tune weed management for the most effective control program."

If you are really interested, copies of my slides from this presenation can be found here:
