Abstract

Accurate identification is the first step in weed control. Weed photography is important because a good picture, plus a descriptive botanical key, more accurately identifies plants. Also, quality pictures provide an important learning tool for students, agribusiness personnel, and producers. This paper includes recommendations for selecting photographic equipment and film as well as practical techniques for controlling backgrounds, light, plant movement, and depth of field in photographing plants.
