Abstract
"Common weeds in field crops are known by at least two common names; some by a dozen or more. For example, Abutilon theophrasti may be referred to as wild cotton in southeast Missouri, while farmers in a northwest community may call it butter print. Indian mallow might be the preferred name in another locale. But if you want to use the name that will get the most nods of recognition from farmers throughout this country, call it velvetleaf. The many common names of weeds frequently creates communication problems. During a conversation, two people may refer to a plant species, but use different common names. They don't realize that they are both referring to the same plant. More importantly, this confusion can result in erroneous weed management decisions."--First page.
