Horseweed has gained importance in recent years due to reports of the development of herbicide resistance to several modes of action, including glyphosate and paraquat. This new 5-page publication of the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences Department presents information about the lifecycle, identification, and management of horseweed in citrus groves. This publication is mainly intended for Florida citrus growers but will also be helpful for Extension agents, crop consultants, and others interested in citrus production. Written by Nirmal Timilsina, Sharpton Toussaint, Camille McAvoy and Ramdas Kanissery. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/hs1451

Chemical weed control is an essential component of the ‘weed control toolbox’ for keeping the weeds checked in citrus groves. Citrus growers primarily rely on herbicides to manage weeds due to their efficacy and cost-effectiveness. However, despite their benefits, herbicides may produce a wide range of unintended effects in citrus. For instance, an herbicide-related injury may occur due to improper spay practices, unfavorable weather conditions, product misapplication, tank contamination, or herbicide carryover from the past application. Moreover, the movement of herbicides as a result of drift, volatilization or runoff, either on-site or from applications on adjoining areas, can also result in tree injury. This article discusses the diagnosis of such injuries from commonly used herbicides in citrus production.

Herbicide-related injuries in newly planted trees and resets seem to be a growing problem. Every so often, incorrect application of herbicides can lead to injury or even dieback of young trees. Such effects of herbicides in young trees and the extent of damage will depend on the type of herbicide used, exposure rate, etc. This article will discuss the potential impacts of herbicides on young trees and thus helps the growers to adopt tree-safe herbicide programs in immature groves.

Bacterial spot is one of the most detrimental diseases of tomato and is especially severe in the southeast United States when weather conditions (high temperature, high humidity, and rain) become conducive for disease development. This new 8-page publication of the UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department presents updated information about the causal pathogen and management of bacterial spot on tomato in Florida. Written by Amanda Strayer-Scherer, Ying-Yu Liao, Peter Abrahamian, Sujan Timilsina, Mathews Paret, Tim Momol, Jeff Jones, and Gary Vallad. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pp353

Nonindustrial private forestlands in Florida provide many environmental benefits, or ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are benefits from nature that are directly enjoyed, consumed, or used by humans, such as water quality improvement or protection, recreation, biodiversity, and even timber. Another benefit from forests that is gaining interest is their ability to store carbon through the photosynthetic capture of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in tree, plant, and soil biomass. The carbon dioxide that is stored over the life of a forest, called carbon stocks, is not only important for mitigating greenhouse gas contributions to climate change, but it can also be valued in several markets and incorporated into environmental policy instruments.
