Weed control considerations in almond orchards

Jun 19, 2011

I spoke last week at the Central San Joaquin Valley Summer Almond Meeting (in Merced, CA) as part of a program that encompassed the almond industry, insect pests, disease managemment and weed control among other topics.  The organizer, UCCE Farm Advisor David Doll, asked me to talk about herbicide selection, maximizing efficacy, and minimizing drift. 

It was a good meeting and I thought I'd share my slides for others to read and consider.
