You are invited to our fourth annual Pest Management Field Day, which features an array of information from our UW Weed Science, Entomology, and Plant Pathology research projects. It’s also a great opportunity to visit with these researchers and each other about current management issues. We hope that you can attend.   Please spread the word regarding the Field Day to your co-workers.

 

 

8:30      Load tour wagons

Visit field experiments that highlight developments with new and existing field corn, sweet corn, soybean, and pasture herbicides and other weed management practices. Weed management information will be presented by Chris Boerboom, Mark Renz, and Dave Stoltenberg.

Receive research updates from Eileen Cullen, field crop entomologist, on corn rootworm, western bean cutworm, and soybean aphid and an overview of 2008 insect efficacy trials. Paul Esker, field crop plant pathologist, will provide training on disease identification and mid-to-late season decision management in corn and soybean and an overview of disease/fungicide trials. 

11:30      Formal tour ends

The tour will end at the corn and soybean herbicide demo area for people who wish to view these plots. Wagons will shuttle people to the Public Events Building until lunch. You are also invited to return to any of the other trials viewed during the tour at this time.
