Document Description
Sahara Mustard (Bassica Toumefortil) is an exoctic annual mustard that has expanded throughout southwestern US desserts. Field experiments to test the efficacy of different control regimes for Sahara mustard field settings are needed. Because of the vast amounts of land already invaded by Sahara mustard, herbicide is perhaps the best option for large-scale effective control in the desert ecosystems.
