Impact Report Weed Identification and Management Program For the third year, the agent was asked by the New Mexico Department of Transportation to present a program on “Weed Identification and Management” to DOT personnel and others from across the state at a Herbicide Application Workshop held at the NMDOT Training Academy in Roswell. The presentation covered plant classification, plant identification, and weed management principles. Approximately 40 persons gained weed management knowledge so that they could obtain a public pesticide applicator license through the New Mexico Department of Agriculture. Since NMDOT employees are on the front lines of weed management along the highways in the state, they are a significant player in noxious weed management in New Mexico. Being able to correctly identify noxious weeds and manage them correctly impacts the spread of weeds throughout the state.
