The Western Society of Weed
Science holds its annual meeting every year in the first
part of March. Attendance is welcome to anyone
interested in various weed science issues. In the
past, participants consisted of producers and
university, industry, state and federal personnel.
We encourage participants from any discipline to attend
the meeting and become involved in the society.
The meeting program
consists primarily of poster and oral paper
presentations. Some years symposiums or other
special sessions are organized on topics like herbicide
resistance or invasive weeds.
Students are highly
encouraged to present their research at the annual
meeting. This participation helps become
acquainted with how a professional society works and
gives future full members valuable experience presenting scientific
data.
An awards luncheon and
social period provide participants the opportunity to
visit with scientists from other areas of the western
United States and beyond. Updates from industry
personnel provide current information on new technology
to help battle weeds.
Beautiful site locations
attract hundreds of people to the meeting each year.
Bring your spouse along to participate in an excellent
meeting and enjoy the other tourist sites available.
