Course Description
The principals and practices of weed management in organic agriculture will be covered. Students
will learn the application of cultural, mechanical and biological techniques to manage weeds within
an integrated organic weed management system. Basic weed ecology and weed identification
skills will also be learned.
This course is only in online format via the Blackboard Learning System at the University of
Saskatchewan.
Course Objectives
After taking this course, students will be able to:
1 Recognize the biological and ecological characteristics of weeds that allow them to be
susceptible to organic management methods.
2. Recognize the biological and ecological characteristics of crops that impact their
coexistence with weeds.
3 Identify the varied methods of weed management in organic agriculture.
4. Design an integrated weed management program for an organic farm.

Course Overview
Weed management for organic agriculture is not prescriptive, but rather is pro-active, based on
the biology of the weeds, and on the ecology of the system. This course begins by reviewing the
important characteristics of weeds that leads to their success in agricultural systems, and then
moves to cropping systems to consider their vulnerability to weeds. Managing the cropping
system is the first and most important method of managing weeds.
The second half of the course is designed to give a comprehensive overview of the techniques
that are available to manage weeds in organically grown field crops. Many of these techniques are
applicable to horticultural crops or rangeland, but are dealt with primarily from the perspective of
field crop management. If your perspective is horticulture or rangeland, the principles are the
same, and assignments can be tailored to suit that perspective.
The course culminates with the student integrating the lessons of ecology and technology into a
multi-year management plan to deal with specific weeds and weed types of interest.
The course includes online resources, learning activities and self-tests for independent learning as
well as collaboration and discussion, integrated into each module.

Profile
I have roots in Alberta and Saskatchewan but didn’t grow up on the farm. For me “the farm”
belonged to my grandparent’s generation. My mom left the farm before she started school. When
she was a kid her grandparents lived in a provincial park in northern Alberta, and her grandpa
used to take her for walks in the woods, gently sharing his love of nature. This has always stayed
with me. I have a deep respect for nature, and for farmers, who are the primary stewards of the
land. Both of my grandmas used to have large gardens, where I spent many happy hours. I came
to organics as a tree hugger, a lifelong gardener, a student of plant ecology, and of course, as an
eater.
I completed undergraduate and master’s degrees at the University of Regina, a Ph.D. at the
University of Western Ontario and, much later, a B.Ed. at the University of Saskatchewan.

I have had a varied career in weed ecology: researching, writing, teaching and working with
farmers. I have been involved in the organic community since returning from my doctoral studies
25 years ago, and worked in organics at the University from 2003 to 2009, initially in affiliation with
the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada. I have extensive university teaching experience and
have collaborated on the development of this online course and the classroom-based weed
ecology course.

Final Exam
Value:
25% of final grade
Date:
See Class Schedule
Length:
3 hours
Purpose:
To evaluate the attainment of concepts and the ability to integrate concepts into
action plans. Comprehensive. Open book. Online.
Description: Questions will include very short answer questions such as matching or multiple
choice, short answers such as “list 3 factors” and longer answers which will ask the student to
develop management plans for specific situations. Choice will be given.
Submitting Assignments
By using the Assignment Drop Box within the assignment tool in Blackboard.
Students will also be adding material in wiki space for the Learning Activities, and attaching
files within the “Research Assignments” wiki space accessed from the Blackboard
Learning Management System. Instructions for these tasks are outlined within the course
material.
In order to gain access to the wiki off campus, students will have to use VPN. Contact the
help desk on campus in person, or at 306-966-4817 or [email protected].
Additional Information
Students must submit at least 6 learning activities, 6 discussion posts and each of the four
assignments in order to be eligible for a passing grade in this course.
Students will be expected to participate in learning activities and discussions for each module.
This interactivity is greater if all students are able to post these items weekly. Participation marks
Page 12 of 13
PlSC 234
are cumulative and as such reflect both quantity, posting learning activities every week, and
quality, providing interesting, insightful and eloquent posts.
Assignments build upon each other, and students work collaboratively, using materials developed
by classmates and incorporating them into their management plans. For this reason, it is useful to
have assignments completed on time. However, sometimes our lives interfere with our plans. Late
assignments and wiki posts can usually be accepted, provided that the student informs the
instructor in advance, and/or has a reasonable explanation for tardiness. In extreme conditions,
late submission of assignments will result in grade penalties.
Students with Disabilities
If you have a diagnosed disability (learning, medical, physical, or mental health), you are strongly
encouraged to register with Disability Services for Students (DSS). In order to access DSS
programs and supports, you must follow DSS policy and procedures. If you suspect you may have
a disability, contact DSS for advice and referrals. For more information,
see http://www.students.usask.ca/disability/ or contact DSS at 306-966-7273 or [email protected].
Integrity
“Integrity is expected of all students in their academic work – class participation, examinations,
assignments, research, practica – and in their non-academic interactions and activities as well.”
(Office of the University Secretary)
It is your responsibility to be familiar with the University of Saskatchewan Guidelines for Academic
