Under Construction
Thank you for visiting our new website. The Seed Crop IPM website, including this sub-page devoted to weed control, is maintained by the WSU Seed Crop Team, a cross-state, interdisciplinary project to protect and enhance the seed industry in Washington State. The project is in its infancy. Stay tuned for more links, more presentations, and more information designed to help the seed crop industries of Washington State remain viable and competitive.
