Identification and life cycles of these weeds are discussed. A general overview of herbicide options and other management strategies for these weeds is provided before moving to specific strategies necessary for problematic weeds. These strategies are summarized to help you develop a weed management program that incorporates chemical, physical, and cultural management strategies.
