The University of Kentucky has organized five webinars on field crop protection topics that will be hosted through the Southern Integrated Pest Management Center starting on November 10.

These weekly webinars will cover topics such as new research on foliar corn disease management, sudden death syndrome and soybean cyst nematode management, updates on the brown marmorated stink bug, guidelines for choosing herbicide options and herbicide-tolerant crop traits, and recommendations for control of weeds like Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, marestail (horseweed), annual ryegrass, and Johnsongrass.

Kentucky pesticide applicator credits and Certified Crop Advisor continuing education credits have been applied for.
