[APWG] Northeastern Weed CD

[Plant Conservation]

Just FYI.

--------------------------------------

Gardeners tending even the most modest pea patches know it's a jungle out
there when it comes to managing weeds. But a new two-volume CD-ROM set,
developed and produced by a Cornell University weed scientist,
provides comprehensive, user-friendly instruction whether you're weeding a
backyard garden or landscaping a golf course. The innovative program, now
available to the public, is humbly titled "Weed Identification, Biology
and Management," and it's an encyclopedic "tour de plantes" of more than
100 Northeastern weed species. "You don't have to be a botanist or a
taxonomist to understand the program; it's practical and accessible to just
about anyone," said Antonio DiTommaso, Cornell assistant professor of weed
science in the university's Department of Crop and Soil Sciences. "We're
hoping this CD package helps people to learn more about these often
strikingly beautiful plants, which at times interfere with our
activities."
