The proposed rules will establish a classification and regulatory system for invasive species. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/604/Default.aspx spaced@hort.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=604 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:27:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=604 File for print or viewing the Wisconsin Vegetable Crop Update July 17, 2008, Issue 9 http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/603/Default.aspx ajbussan@wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=603 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:21:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=603 This PDF file contains all the articles for the week.

Both species are attracted to pollinating fields and are capable of clipping silks prior to fertilization resulting in poor ear fill. The concern this year would be over variable planting dates. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/600/Default.aspx cullen@entomology.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=600 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:34:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=600 The Central Wisconsin Agronomy Crops Field Day will be held at the Hancock Agricultural Research Station on Wednesday, July 30th, beginning promptly at 9 a.m. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/601/Default.aspx cullen@entomology.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=601 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:35:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=601 The PDDC receives samples of many plant samples from around the state.

This year’s weather has certainly been a case in point. With the flooding in Wisconsin, many questions have been asked about the potential to replant different crops after herbicides had been applied to corn or other crops. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/592/Default.aspx spaced@hort.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=592 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:14:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=592 We have started to receive questions and initial reports regarding the need to spray foliar fungicides in corn and soybean. Many of these questions have been received in part because of initial observations of lesions on both plants. Actively scouting fields is an important step in the decision making process about whether or not a foliar fungicide is needed. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/591/Default.aspx cullen@entomology.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=591 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:08:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=591 This PDF file contains all the articles for the week.

At these locations, both incidence and severity are relatively low. At our most uniform and prevalent FHB site (Lancaster) our ratings show an FHB index range from 0.6 to 8.8 among the varieties. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/589/Default.aspx cullen@entomology.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=589 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:37:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=589 File for print or viewing the Wisconisn Vegetable Crop Update July 3, 2008, Issue #7 http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/588/Default.aspx ajbussan@wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=588 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:35:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=588
