There will be a number of presentations on herbicide resistance as well as general weed management problems and solutions at the upcoming (Jan 22-25) 65th Annual California Weed Science Society Meeting in Sacramento. The theme this year is "Weed Management: A Career with a Bright Future in California". Click here for a preliminary meeting program.
Take care,
