What is UC Cooperative Extension?

The University of California's 64 Cooperative Extension (UCCE) offices are local problem-solving centers. More than 400 campus-based specialists and county-based farm, home, and youth advisors work as teams to bring the University's research-based information to Californians. UCCE is a full partnership of federal, state, county, and private resources linked in applied research and educational outreach. UCCE tailors its programs to meet local needs. UCCE's many teaching tools include meetings, conferences, workshops, demonstrations, field days, video programs, newsletters and manuals. Thousands of volunteers extend UCCE's outreach, assisting with nutrition and 4-H youth development programs along with Master Gardener, Master Food Preserver, and Master Food Shopper education.

UC Delivers

Throughout the irrigated west, a number of weed species, including perennial and poisonous weeds, can infest alfalfa hay. The types of infestations in any given area are usually associated with planting time, previous cropping history and environmental factors. Any of these weeds left uncontrolled can seriously reduce yield or cause a complete loss of stand in the establishment year. Even if the stand is not lost, infestations can weaken young alfalfa seedlings, retard growth and delay the first cutting. Weeds also reduce the quality and value of alfalfa hay because many are less palatable and less nutritious than alfalfa. Poisonous weeds make hay unfit for livestock and some, such as sandbur and foxtail, although not poisonous are mechanically harmful.
