Organic Weed Management Webinar Series
Hosted by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (CFSA)
This free spring webinar series will help farmers learn how to effectively manage weeds using organic practices and develop an integrated weed management plan for their operations. Each session builds on the previous one, so participants are encouraged to attend all four.
By the end of the series, participants will learn how to:
• Identify weeds on their farm and understand why they are difficult to control
• Select effective organic strategies for managing weeds
• Develop an integrated weed management plan for different cropping systems, including annual crops, perennial crops, and pasture
