Bryan Brown will discuss key differences in the biology of various weed species that must be considered in order to maximize the effectiveness of management strategies. He will also review some of the situations when it is most appropriate to use hoeing, mulching, or herbicides. Several potted weed species will be on hand to assist with proper identification and to showcase plant identification apps. A variety of hand weeding tools and mulches will also be demonstrated.
