UW–Madison Extension is hosting a free Herbicide Fate Workshop on Thursday, October 1, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Dane County Extension Office (5201 Fen Oak Drive, Madison).
This practical, science-based workshop is designed for crop consultants, agricultural retailers, industry representatives, Extension educators, and weed science academic staff and graduate students who want a deeper understanding of how herbicides behave after application, and how that knowledge can inform better weed management decisions.
The day features presentations from Dr. Thomas Mueller, Professor of Plant Sciences at the University of Tennessee, covering herbicide fate fundamentals, environmental factors affecting herbicides in soil, and a dedicated Q&A on pre-herbicides. The agenda also includes a WiscWeeds research update and open discussion time.
Lunch is provided, courtesy of BASF.
FREE to attend. Lunch provided.
