A major driving force for this classification system is t hat growers have been encouraged to rotate or mix herbicides from differen t HG to delay the evolution of herbicide-resistant weeds\; because\, in th eory\, all active ingredients within a herbicide group physiologically aff ect weeds similarly. Although herbicide resistance in weeds has been studi ed for decades\, recent research has demonstrated patterns of cross-resist ance are more complex than merely stating a certain weed biotype is resist ant to a HG. The objective of this presentation is to highlight the intric acies associated with cross-resistance patterns within HG.

This webinar examine s three different efficiency metrics\, the Water-Nitrogen Intensification Performance Index (WNIPI)\, Dollar Return of Irrigation and Nitrogen (DRIN )\, and Net Return to Irrigation and Nitrogen (NRIN). Each measure has it strengths and weakness. The DRIN and NRIN rely on three factors\, costs\, revenues\, and productivity. These two measures are easily to developed. B y understanding these simple metrics and apply them through time progress can be made toward individual business goals and objectives. The relations hip of understanding the relationship between the biological and economic factors are explored remembering that both are important but not necessari ly completely compatible in producing desired outcomes..

In this course\, you will learn foundational knowledge and practical tools to develop and imple ment HACCP plans applicable to a variety of food commodities. Additionally \, you will review examples of real HACCP plans\, and learn common reasons why HACCP plans fail as well as potential solutions for those issues.

Dissertation Defense - Andrew Mwape STATUS:CONFIRMED DESCRIPTION:This dissertation examines the role of public participation in strengthening drought risk management across both developed and developing country contexts. Using a mixed-methods approach\, it explores how partic ipatory practices enhance drought preparedness\, response\, and policy eff ectiveness. A case study from Nebraska\, USA\, highlights the benefits of stakeholder engagement in raising awareness\, clarifying responsibilities\ , and improving water resource management. A proposed evaluation framework provides drought managers with a tool to assess participatory efforts in state drought planning. In Zambia\, research reveals significant gaps in d rought governance\, including limited public involvement\, inadequate prep aredness\, and weak institutional coordination. The study concludes that w hile participation is context-dependent\, its strategic integration enhanc es adaptive capacity\, stakeholder ownership\, and policy legitimacy in dr ought risk management worldwide.
