In recent years, weather patterns have become less and less reliable. We have seen more major rain events in which we receive a heavy rainfall followed by a dry period. Did you know that how your weed management program performs can be affected by this moisture or lack thereof? Join the Field Crops Webinar Series on Monday, March 20, 2023, as Erin Burns from Michigan State University and Christopher Landau, post-doctoral researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the University of Illinois, discuss how the variability in weather can affect your weed control and herbicide efficacy.
Field crop producers, consultants and agribusiness professionals are invited to participate in the Field Crops Webinar Series 2023, a series of eight online programs addressing field crop production and pest management offered by Michigan State University Extension. Participants will be able to access the expertise of agriculture specialists and educators from the comfort of their home or office.
The theme for this year's series is Two for the Price of One: Conversations in Row Crop Agriculture. Each session will feature two speakers giving short presentations and discussing different aspects of the topic in an informal talk-show/podcast format with plenty of opportunity for interaction with the audience. The live webinars will run on Monday evenings from 7 to 8 p.m. ET beginning Feb. 6 and ending March 27, 2023.
Cost of registration is $20 per person for the entire series. Those attending the live webinars will be eligible to earn one Michigan pesticide recertification (RUP) credit per session for application to one of the following categories: Private Core, Commercial Core or Field Crops. One continuing education unit (CEU) for Certified Crop Advisers will also be available for each session.
To register for the webinar series, visit the Field Crops Webinar Series event page. The webinars may be accessed on a mobile device or a computer with a stable internet connection. Webinars will be recorded and archived, and participants may choose to view all recordings from the series at a later date. Credits are available only for participants in the live sessions. Archived recordings from previous seasons are accessible for free from the MSU Extension Field Crops webpage.
