A quick post today to share a link to the recently revised "UC IPM Pest Management Guidelines for Olive" (UC ANR Publication #3452).  You can download the whole document as a pdf here, or use it online at the above link.

Like the most of the other Pest Management Guidelines (PMGs), there are sections on management of a broad range of pests in olive including insects, mites, nematodes, vertebrate pests, and weeds.  Since this is the UC Weed Science blog, here's the link directly to the Integrated Weed Management section authored by:

  • B. Hanson, Weed Science, UC Davis.  This revision was built on the past contributions of C. Elmore, Weed Science, UC Davis (emeritus), D.W. Cudney, Weed Science UC Riverside (emeritus), D.R. Donaldson, UCCE Napa Co., and W.T. Lanini, Weed Science, UC Davis (emeritus).

I think these PMGs are among the most useful sources of pest management information published by the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program. These agricultural and home garden pest management guides are updated every year or so with extensive revisions every few years. The authors usually include University of California faculty, specialists, and farm advisors and the guides are produced and edited by UC Statewide IPM Program, University of California, Davis. 

Visit the UC IPM homepage for more pest management information.  This web resource gets nearly 50,000 pageviews per day by folks from around the world!

Take care,

Brad
