Five years of the World of Weeds article series

Share Tweet Email

In December 2019, Extension Weed Science specialist Sarah Lancaster launched a new article series all about weeds. The series “World of Weeds” features a different weed species that typically has agronomic implications for farmers and ranchers in Kansas. Each article contains information on the species’ ecology, identification features, and management options.

If you missed some of the earlier articles or would like a refresher, all the articles are still available to view as part of the eUpdate online archives. Below is a list of the weeds grouped into categories, with the articles as clickable hyperlinks.
