Oregon Weed Science Society is a non-profit organization founded in 1951 dedicated to promoting weed science scholarship, education, and knowledge dissemination. Our primary goal is to put on a yearly meeting for growers, agronomists, and weed scientists. This meeting highlights new research, practical in-field applications, new product updates, and current topics. Our secondary goal is to provide several scholarships to worthy candidates studying in the field of weed science. Your meeting registration fees are the sole funding source for the organization and we thank you for your support.
