2002 Pest Management Update Meetings 

Chris Boerboom

We are announcing the dates and locations of the 2002 Pest Management Update Meetings in this issue of the Crop Manager. Please note the schedule and mark your calendars. Registration details are listed at the top of the schedule. Please pre-register with the host agent. We could not seat some people for lunch last year because of too many unexpected walk-ins. Some agents have had to add an additional "walk-in" fee for those not pre-registered. As in previous years, we will have many topics to discuss. We hope to see you this fall at the meetings.

Presentations will include pest management and biology information for Wisconsin field crops. Topics will include updates on herbicides, weed management, herbicide modes of action; soybean aphid, bean leaf beetle, and corn rootworm updates; and disease management.

All meetings start with registration and coffee at 9:30 a.m. Presentations start promptly at 10 a.m. and we will conclude by 3 p.m. Four hours of Certified Crop Advisor CEU credits in pest management were requested for each session. The $25 registration fee per participant includes the noon meal. Extra packets of materials can be purchased for $15 each.

Make your reservations with the host agent one week prior to the scheduled meeting date.
