Post-Emergent Weed Control Topic of May 13 Virtual Breakfast
Michigan Ag Connection - 05/07/2021

Weeds compete with crops for water, nutrients and light, leading to reductions in crop yield. To maintain yield, it is critical not to miss the timing window for good weed control. Weather, herbicide resistant weeds and unforeseen problems can all contribute to weed challenges. Join the Michigan State University Extension Field Crops Virtual Breakfast at 7 a.m. on May 13 with MSU weed control specialist Erin Burns. She will be discussing the optimal size to control troublesome weeds, crop growth stage restrictions for postemergence herbicide application and options to control mid- to late season weed escapes. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during the broadcast. MSU agricultural climatologist Jeff Andresen will provide the weekly weather update following Burns' presentation.

The Michigan State University Extension Field Crops Virtual Breakfast Series are held every week during the growing season via Zoom video or phone conference. These virtual meetings will take place every Thursday morning from 7 to 7:30 a.m. through Sept. 23. There will be a 30-minute Q&A session following the presentations.
