In 1976, two experiments were conducted in the greenhouse at California State University, Fresno, to evaluate the chemical control of wild oats in wheat. Experiment A was designed to evaluate 3 foliar applied herbicides, barban, difenzoquat an . . .

Glyphosate-resistant (GR) populations of hairy fleabane (Conyza bonariensis) were documented in the Central Valley (CV) in 2007. However, poor control of these populations was also observed with paraquat, a common contact herbicide also widely used in . . .

The use of soil-incorporated herbicides can be an effective means for controlling weeds. Effectiveness of a soil-applied herbicide will depend essentially on the extent to which it can be concentrated in a region where effects are desired. Therefore, . . .

In recent years, there has been an increasing need in agriculture to become more efficient in farming and to optimize crop yields whenever possible. Pesticides have become a major tool in achieving this goal. Recognition that weeds must be controll . . .

The importance of the tomato has increased markedly in the last 25 to 30 years. Tomatoes now rank as the number one vegetable crop in California. In 1967, approximately 3.25 million tons of processing tomatoes were produced on 180,000 acres with a raw . . .

Aquaponics integrates fish and plant farming to create a closed loop, self-cleaning system. Fish waste and uneaten fish food is first broken-down bacteria, which turns toxic ammonia into nitrites and then nitrates. The nutrient rich water is then fed . . .
