WSSA PRESS RELEASES
WEED SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA WARNS GLYPHOSATE RESISTANCE INCREASING
Glyphosate, a herbicide which is marketed under various names, is widely used around the world to control a broad array of weeds in agriculture, forestry, orchards, rightsofway and around the home. Glyphosate is an especially effective and simple weed management tool for some agricultural crops that can tolerate the herbicide. However, its widespread, repeated, and often sole use for weed management has selected weeds that have become glyphosate resistant and are thus not controlled by this herbicide.
GIANT COUSIN OF THE CARROT PLAGUES BACKYARD GARDENERS WITH BLISTERS AND BURNS
Well-known garden plants such as carrots, parsnip and dill have cousins with some nasty characteristics. Giant hogweed (
Heracleum mantegazzianum
), common hogweed (
Heracleum sphondylium
) and their hybrids were introduced into the United States from Europe in the early 1900s as showy garden ornamentals. But they can pack a painful punch.
NEW WSSA JOURNAL – INVASIVE PLANT SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT
WSSA launched its newest peer-reviewed journal in February at its annual meeting in Chicago.
IPSM focuses on fundamental and applied research on invasive plant biology, ecology, management, and restoration of invaded non-crop areas, as well as on educational, sociopolitical, and technological aspects of invasive plant management.
