So That's It: Herbicide injury can be difficult to diagnose, so don't take chances.
Because it's so difficult to distinguish herbicide injuries from other maladies that can befall your crops, growers are urged to familiarize themselves with exactly what herbicide injury looks like. University of California-Davis weed ecologist Tom Lanini has provided American/Western Fruit Grower with numerous photos documenting the symptoms. Check out these photos of the effects of common herbicides on such crops as grapes, almonds, peaches, plums, cherries, and prunes.
