The document discusses how an unusually warm spring in 2012 may impact weed populations that year. It notes that the early warm weather gave some weed species a 2-4 week headstart on emergence compared to average years. Perennial and biennial weeds in particular benefited from the warm conditions. The document provides a table showing that several common weed species emerged much earlier than their 1998-2000 average emergence dates.
This document provides information about weeds, including their definitions, life cycles, and identification. It discusses that a weed is an undesirable plant that competes with crops for resources. Weeds can be annuals that complete their life cycle in one year, or perennials that live for multiple years. The document describes key morphological features used to identify common weed types, such as their leaves, stems, seeds, and underground structures. It explains that weeds grow for reasons such as restoring bare soil and increasing biodiversity. Effective weed management requires understanding their life cycles and why they grow, rather than simply trying to control them annually.
The document outlines an agenda for a session on differentiated instruction. The agenda includes: 1) an icebreaker activity, 2) a presentation on differentiated instruction and the "big picture", 3) differentiating instruction by interest, and 4) time for teachers to apply a DI strategy with their professional learning community. The document then provides examples of activities and assessments to determine students' interests and readiness levels in order to differentiate instruction accordingly.

This document provides guidance on developing a management plan for invasive plants. It emphasizes understanding the biology and lifecycle of the target species, prioritizing areas based on goals, and using integrated control methods that are species-specific. Examples are given for developing multi-year plans to eradicate small garlic mustard patches and reduce the spread of larger infestations, as well as to prioritize and treat isolated buckthorn plants before denser areas. The key is developing a customized plan that considers objectives, species traits, and available resources.
This document discusses weed management in alfalfa. Weeds can reduce alfalfa establishment, yield, and forage quality. The critical period for weed removal is 3-5 weeks after planting. Herbicides like Pursuit and Raptor can be used during establishment with some potential yield loss. Roundup Ready alfalfa allows post-emergence glyphosate applications with more flexible timing but has higher seed and technology costs. Weed management is important to secure stand establishment and provide high quality forage, especially in the first cutting. Management options depend on weed species, density, and field conditions.
This document discusses the resurgence of dandelion and field horsetail weeds in Wisconsin. It finds that both weeds are perennials favored by reduced and no-till systems. Trials show fall herbicide applications are more effective for dandelion control compared to spring applications. For field horsetail, postemergence applications of Steadfast/Status provided the best control in some trials, while results varied between locations and years. Effective management of both weeds requires a systems approach including scouting, crop rotation, sequential herbicide applications with the correct timing, and potential tillage under severe pressure.
This document provides a summary of updates on various herbicides and weed management issues. Key points include:
- No new herbicide modes of action are on the horizon, emphasizing the need to protect existing herbicides from resistance.
- Several new premix herbicides were discussed that combine multiple modes of action for resistance management, including Realm Q, Authority XL, TripleFLEX, Callisto Xtra, and Fierce.
- Herbicides tolerant crops are in development that will allow post-emergence use of synthetic auxin herbicides like 2,4-D and dicamba, but will require stewardship to avoid off-target movement issues.
- No confirmed
This document provides a summary of the 2010 PEST MANAGEMENT UPDATE Forages, Pastures, and Invasive Plants from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It discusses new herbicide labels for use in pastures and forages, techniques for controlling winter annual weeds in alfalfa, establishing legumes after herbicide application, and managing herbicide persistence in manure to avoid impacting sensitive crops. The document also provides resources on identifying and managing invasive plant species according to Wisconsin's new invasive species rule.
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the effects of fall-applied herbicides on controlling Canada thistle while maintaining forb cover during the establishment of prairie plantings. The study tested several herbicides at two sites in Wisconsin and measured their impacts on Canada thistle suppression, native plant cover, and species richness over two years. The results showed that low rates of Milestone provided 6-12 months of Canada thistle control without negatively impacting native forbs. Native plant cover was improved with some herbicide treatments, especially Milestone. However, no increase in the number of planted prairie species was observed with the herbicide applications.
Legume establishment after herbicides 2010weedscience
This document summarizes three studies from 2006-2009 on the impact of fall-applied herbicides on legume establishment the following spring in Wisconsin. Across the studies, herbicide applications of Milestone and Ally in the fall sometimes reduced legume establishment the next year, depending on application date and rate, planting date, soil temperature, and planting method. The conclusion is that if legumes are critical, it is better to spot treat rather than broadcast apply herbicides in the fall and wait until late summer or the following spring to plant.
1. The document discusses a study measuring the establishment costs, productivity, and greenhouse gas emissions of grass-based biofuels like switchgrass in southwest Wisconsin.
2. Key findings from the 2-year study include establishment success rates ranging from 17-100% depending on treatment, yields in the second year ranging from 1-4 tons per acre without nitrogen fertilizer and increasing with nitrogen addition, and sites being minor sources of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide emissions with no differences between treatments.
3. Overall, the study provides data on costs, yields, and greenhouse gas fluxes to inform the viability and environmental impacts of producing switchgrass as a biofuel feedstock in the region.

8. New Weed ID TOOL
http://weedid.wisc.edu
• 355 of the most
common weeds of
Wisconsin entered
• Allows for selection
of known traits to
reduce the potential
weeds that fit this
criteria
9. Step 1: Select the type of weed you are
trying to identify.
• BROADLEAF (269 species):
– These herbaceous (non-woody) plants typically produce
noticeable flowers. Leaves are often broad with netted
veins, but they may also be narrow and veinless.
• GRASSLIKE (51 species):
– These herbaceous (non-woody) plants lack noticeable
flowers. The leaves are ribbon-like with parallel veins, and
are often tightly rolled.
• WOODY (54 species):
– Trees, shrubs, and sub-shrubs with obvious woody stems
that persist year after year.
10. Step 2: Begin your search by answering just a few questions you
are confident are correct and are distinct for this weed. If your
selections result in too many plants, continue to answer additional
questions to narrow the number of results.
WARNING: Avoid answering too many questions
as one incorrect answer can eliminate your
desired weed from the results. Therefore, it is
better to answer FEWER questions that are
UNIQUE to your weed (such as if your weed has
spines, thorns, or prickles).
11. What do we ask?
• Broadleaf and woody weeds
– Where was it found?

15. What do you do if you can’t identify this
plant from the website?
• Try to identify to family or genus then use other
resources (next slide)
• Take a picture and email it to an expert
• Send a sample in for identification through an agent
• Who agents will contact if they can’t identify
– Annual Crops Vince Davis
– Horticultural Crops Jed Colquhoun
– Perennial Crops/Natural Areas Mark Renz
– Turf: http://www.plantpath.wisc.edu/tdl/
16. When advising on management get as
much information as possible
1. Where is the weed growing?
2. How much of it do you have?
3. How long has it been there?
4. What control options are you willing/able to
conduct
17. Tools for Management
• Manipulation of the environment (e.g.
Plant competition)
• Physical management (e.g. mowing)
• Herbicide
• Prevention
• Burning
• Biological control
• Grazing
18. Understand the biology
of weeds!
• How do they reproduce and
spread?
– Annuals
– Biennials
– Creeping Perennials
– Simple Perennials
19. Prevention
• Washing equipment to
remove soil and plant parts
from infested areas
• Use of weed free inputs:
– hay and straw
– free gravel, fill, top soil
– compost
• Keep adjacent areas weed
free
20. Common Herbicides For
Homeowners
• Need to look at active ingredients
• Common Active ingredients
– Glyphosate
– Bareground (glyphosate + Imazapic or
Imazapyr)
– Turf (2,4-D, Dicamba, triclopyr and/or MCPP)
– Brush/Poison ivy (Triclopyr)
– Pre (Trifluralin, Pendimethalin, corn gluten
meal)
21. How to read a label
• Active ingredient
• Environmental
restrictions/hazards:
• Directions for use
• Specific information for
site
22. Herbicide Use Tips
• Read and follow label directions on all chemicals.
– Use correct rates
– Calibrate your sprayer
• Be sure that chemicals are mixed thoroughly
• Never spray when it is windy
• Spray only the targeted area
• Be aware of properties of herbicides
– Read environmental restrictions part of label
• Some volatize when air temperatures are > 80F.
• Some persist in the soil for extended periods
• Some can leach into groundwater
