Nebraska Extension will conduct workshops this March in Scottsbluff and three other locations to inform ag producers and others about the importance of managing herbicide, insecticide and fungicide resistance, understanding mode of action, and reducing the potential for resistance in weeds, insects and plant pathogens.
The Scottsbluff workshop is scheduled for March 11 from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. in the Bluestem Room at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center. Other workshops are scheduled for March 7 in Wayne, March 8 in Clay Center and March 10 in Grant.
Preregistration will be conducted on-line at http://agronomy.unl.edu/pest-resistance. That web page contains a hyperlink to register for the Scottsbluff workshop. The cost of the workshop material is $50.
Continuing education credits for Certified Crop Advisors have been applied for, or can be self-reported.
