Broadleaf Weed Identification for Crop Production webinar

Many of our most problematic weeds are broadleaf weeds. The best way to control them varies depending on the species, so it is imperative that weeds are identified correctly. In this session some of the key distinguishing characteristics of the most problematic broadleaf weeds in NY field crops were discussed. For each species, the biology that makes it weedy was provided  as well as potential "Achilles' heels" that can be exploited for management. Best practices for using smartphone weed ID apps was also discussed.
