Weed Science Society of America

The Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) is a learned society focused on weed science. It was founded in 1956.[1] Acting president for 2016-17 is Kevin Bradley.[2]

WSSA has started the International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds initiative to collect herbicide resistances.[3] The WSSA classifies all herbicides by the mode of action.[4]

In 2017, WSSA began a partnership with Cambridge University Press to continue publication of the three WSSA journals: Weed Science ISSN 0043-1745, Weed Technology ISSN 0890-037X, and Invasive Plant Science and Management ISSN 1939-747X.[5]
