ANNOTATED REFERENCES ON WEED CONTROL AND WEED IDENTIFICATION
There are many excellent references dealing with weed control and plant identification. The ones listed below
are not necessarily better than others, but are examples of what is available. The Defense Pest Management
Information Analysis Center (DPMIAC) can provide both technical information and additional references.
All state universities and state agricultural extension services in the United States have weed scientists who
can be helpful with local and regional problems. Many state universities also have weed identification
manuals and taxonomists who can provide assistance in weed identification.

Champaign IL 61820. Fifth Edition, p. 515. Includes basic information on chemistry, toxicology, and use of
all herbicides currently used in the United States, as well as other information relative to using herbicides.
