Seminar: Kassim Al-Khatib on weeds and the threat to California rice

Weeds commonly seen in California rice fields are evolving to resist the chemicals growers use to control them. What can be done? Kassim Al-Khatib is a long-time expert in both weeds and rice, and he'll discuss his research in this free talk, "Herbicide-resistant weeds: A threat to the sustainability of California rice cropping."

Al-Khatib is the Melvin D. Androus Endowed Professor for Weed Science and a frequent speaker at our Rice Field Day events. His research looks at the physiology and ecology of the rice-weed relationship to develop management practices that prevent and manage weed resistance in rice.
