The
Weed Science program at WSU Mount Vernon
endeavors
to (1) develop, coordinate, and deliver extension and formal education
programs to imporve the understanding of weed science principles in Washington;
(2) provide leadership in the evaluation of herbicides and other weed control
techniques for efficacy and crop safety in minor crops (seed crops, ornamental
bulbs, small fruit, and vegetable crops), and determine their potential
impact on rotational crops grown in western Washington; and (3) provide
answers for management of non-crop, riparian, and noxious weeds in Washington.
The
main focus areas in this extension and research program are:
1. Weed science sections of western Washington pesticide prelicense and
recertification trainings.
2. Weed Control in agronomic/horticultural crops.
3. Weed control in non-cropland, pasture/hay, urban horticulture, nursery,
range, forestry, and rights-of-way (often involving the management of noxious
weeds).
4. Weed identification.
5. Weed physiology, biology, and ecology.
6. Herbicide/adjuvant technology.
