Identification of Common Western Canadian Seedling Broadleaf Weeds

This course will focus on seedling identification of broadleaf weeds in the seedling stage of their life. It is designed to develop skills and confidence in weed identification. Broadleaf weeds are easily identifiable when they are established mature plants. However; seedlings can be quite difficult to identify. It is important to identify broadleaves at the early stages of growth in order to control them before they become established or produce viable seed. . Identification techniques will look at the cotyledons, the true leaves, distinctive plant parts like hairs and any specific colour or structure that can be used to distinguish the seedling.

After completing this course you will understand specific plant terminology and the distinguishing characteristics of the species and families covered to improve your scouting and broadleaf weed identification.
