Virtual Montana Organic Conference

This session will discuss a USDA Organic Research and Extension Initiative (OREI) Project funded to explore integrated weed management of Canada thistle and field bindweed on organic farms in Montana. Results of one study on control of field bindweed, and an on ongoing project focused primarily on Canada thistle, will be presented. The focus of the session will range from how cropping practices, including integrated crop-livestock systems, affect growth of both creeping perennial weeds. We are hoping to share some preliminary economics of the various managment strategies. The session will conclude with panelists answering questions you have about the project or about anything related to Canada thistle and field bindweed management. We need to hear from you about the project and are hoping that you can attend!
