Field Day to Highlight Herbicide Management
Iowa Ag Connection - 06/20/2019

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will host a herbicide resistance management field day June 25, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the A. Knaphus farm located 1.5 miles south of McCallsburg on County Road S27.

Herbicide resistance in weeds is a major challenge faced by all producers. When weeds cannot be killed, farmers are often required to apply additional herbicide or adopt different management strategies that may cost them more money. This field day aims to educate farmers on effectively managing weeds before they become a major problem.

Attendees will learn about effective herbicide sites of action, weed control for both individual herbicides and a full program approach and the impact of timing and herbicide program approaches to weeds in soybean.

ISU Extension and Outreach field agronomists Meaghan Anderson and Angie Rieck-Hinz will lead attendees through the plots to discuss herbicide principles used to manage herbicide resistant weeds.

There is no fee to attend the field day and all are welcome to attend. The plots are located on the east side of County Road S27, with signs directing to off road parking. Certified Crop Advisors can receive 2.0 pest management CEUs for attending.

Please contact the ISU Extension and Outreach Story County office at 515-382-6551 with questions.
