Symptomology Photo Repository (UC IPM): Identifying
nontarget crop and ornamental plant damage from herbicides has
become much easier, with the launch of this new online photo repository
developed by using nearly a thousand photos of herbicide-damaged
plants. The images are catalogued to show damage that can occur
from 81 herbicides in more than 14 specific herbicide modes of
action, applied in field to demonstrate the symptoms or when known
herbicide spray has drifted onto the plant. Each image is characterized
with the name of the plant, mode of action of the herbicide, and
notes the specific symptoms of damage. Together these photos provide
a comprehensive archive of damage to over 120 different crops
and ornamental plants by known herbicides, which users can easily
compare with what they see in the field.

For Corn, Soybean and Wheat herbicides. Weed Pro 75 is your online
herbicide selection tool that puts profitability and environmental
safety first. Input basic field information along with the different
weed species found in each field and an estimation of how heavy
an infestation (density) of each species in that field. Registered
herbicides that are effective on the indicated weed spectrum are
then listed by most profitable treatments. You can sort the results
in multiple ways including environmental impact. Then click the
desired treatment name for rates, precautions, and other product
information.
