WEED MANAGEMENT: 

To help land managers manage weeds using the most effective and least toxic methods, the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) has developed two resources: the Best Management Practices for Non-Chemical Weed Control manual and a companion online decision support tool called Weed Control User Tool. The resources were funded through DPR’s grant program with the California Invasive Plant Council and the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program.
