More Publications from IFAS

Here are a few more nursery production publications you might like to take a look at. 
I see ragweed parthenium in some of the nurseries that I visit.  The biotype that I saw did not completely die with the application of glyphosate.  It merely lost some leaves and then bounced back.  Here is a new factsheet about it.
