EARLY SEASON WEEDS. Aaron Hager and Christy Sprague (2003) A recent issue of the web-based PEST MANAGEMENT & CROP DEVELOPMENT BULLETIN from the Univ. of Illinois highlights identification of early season weed species with a series of full color, quite detailed photos. Weeds are a particular concern in no-till fields and the photos (or the available companion publication, A POCKET IDENTIFICATION GUIDE OF EARLY-SEASON WEED SPECIES) can be a useful aid for growers and others involved with weed management under these conditions.
