We commonly select for specific weeds in agricultural systems because of the neccessary managment practices. Cultivation, fertilization, irrigation, weed management, etc all can affect the weeds in a given field.

Yesterday, I attended the Southern San Joaquin Valley Olive Day organized by UC Cooperative Extension orchard systems farm advisor, Elizabeth Fichtner (UCCE Tulare Co).
I visited a couple of almond orchard trials this week and thought I'd share a few photos. First, I ran across a weed that I haven't encountered before - alkali mallow (Malvella leprosa).
