On Monday, March 17, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Planning Branch is organizing a two hour lecture by Dr. Joe DiTomaso on the biology, ecology and management of yellow starthistle. The department has not only arranged for the lecture to be presented to participants in attendance, but it will also be available as a live webinar. The presentation will discuss why and how yellow starthistle became so widespread in California and all the possible management strategies, including herbicides, mechanical removal, burning, grazing, and biological control and how these strategies can be best applied to minimize non-target species damage. Dr. DiTomaso will also include an overview of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies that can be used to address yellow starthistle. The presentation and webinar will be from 1 to 3 pm and will be held at the Natural Resources Building Auditorium (ground floor), 1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, 95814. Margaret Mantor is the contact person for more information and she can be reached at Margaret.Mantor@wildlife.ca.gov or at 916-651-1278.
