They’re slow, plentiful, and apparently other insects find them to be quite tasty. The Field Day focuses on biological control of soybean aphid. The event will be Aug. 5th, 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., at the Public Events Building at the UW’s Arlington Agricultural Research Station. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/581/Default.aspx cullen@entomology.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=581 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:02:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=581 PEPS "Profits Through Efficient Production Systems" was founded in 1987 on the vision that profitability is the ultimate goal in crop production. Now in its 22st year, PEPS goes beyond typical yield contests by encouraging profitability, efficiency and conservation rather than productivity alone. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/586/Default.aspx cullen@entomology.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=586 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:27:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=586 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. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/551/Default.aspx cullen@entomology.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=551 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:57:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=551 The UW Pest Management Field Day will be held on Tuesday, July 1st at the Arlington Ag Research Station.

We have all worked with an exceptional CCA, an individual who deserves special recognition. The state CCA Board and the international CCA program are asking you to take a few minutes to nominate that individual for the Wisconsin CCA of the Year Award. http://ipcm.wisc.edu/WCMNews/tabid/53/EntryID/510/Default.aspx cullen@entomology.wisc.edu http://ipcm.wisc.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=53&EntryID=510 Thu, 08 May 2008 17:19:00 GMT http://ipcm.wisc.edu/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=510 Shawn Conley and Paul Esker recently developed and launched The Soy Report www.thesoyreport.blogspot.com.
