Cover crops In the Midwest Corn Belt may be used to accomplish several goals, including erosion control, limiting nutrient movement off-site, enhancing nutrient cycling, and breaking pest cycles, among others. Precipitation amounts, temperature and growing degree days, and soils differ greatly throughout the 12 state region. In this 3 part webinar series, researchers, CCAs, and producers will present principles and applications of how cover crops have been incorporated into some agricultural management systems across the Midwest. Each webinar will be worth 1.0 CEU in Crop Management for CCAs/CPAgs and 1.0 CEU in Professional Meetings for CPSS/CPSC. Cost is Free for all registrants.
Bee Health and Stewardship
Feb 16, 2016 at 12:30 Eastern
Sponsored by American Society of Agronomy webinar sponsored by Bayer CropScience.
Pollinators such as the honey bee play an important role in feeding our growing planet by helping to produce the majority of fruits, nuts and vegetables that we eat every day. However, it is increasingly challenging to maintain healthy honey bee colonies due to several factors affecting bee health such as pest pressure and lack of diverse forage. In this session, we will take an in depth look at the current status of honey bee health and the steps we can all take to protect the hardest working insects in agriculture!
This webinar will be worth 1.0 CEU in Integrated Pest Management for CCAs/CPAgs and 1.0 CEU in Professional Meetings for CPSS/CPSC. Cost is Free for members and certified professionals and $25.00 for non-members.
