Weed Management in Fruit—On-Farm IPM Demonstration

This event is part of the Fruit IPM for the Home Garden and Landscapes Conference. 

Weed management is critical and can be especially tricky in perennial systems. We will discuss key differences in the biology of various weed species that must be considered in order to maximize the effectiveness of management strategies. Several potted weed species will be on hand to assist with proper identification and to showcase plant identification apps. A variety of tools will also be demonstrated.
