Description
A guide to weeds in the West, written by seven extension specialists and published by the Wyoming Agricultural Extension, features 900 color photographs that show more than 350 weed species occurring in 12 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The authors describe early growth stages, stages of maturity, and features for the positive identification for each weed.Tags

Some of the weeds are too far south for Alberta but it is THE resource guide for finding out about weeds in your fields.
A weed is defined as: "A plant that interferes with management objectives for a given area of land at a given point of time," according to J. M. Torell, p. ix. A one page introduction is really to brief; and, it needs a detailed introductory chapter before launching directly into its alphabetical listing by Latin binomials.
