Matt Hagny (right) answers questions during a break
at the 2011 Crop Health Workshop

:: Recent Workshops ::

The January 2012 edition of the Crop Health Workshop had a superb audience of producers, scientists and agronomists from the plains states, Texas, Missouri, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Lots of keen questions were asked, and the session went triple overtime! Matt Hagny revealed the many secondary and micronutrient deficiencies lurking in the region's crops, and discussed the most effective ways of addressing them. Hagny particularly emphasized how visually subtle some of them were, unless you had a side-by-side comparison. Ray Ward provided additional insights on nutrient behavior in no-till soils, as well as supplying his immense practical experience on fertilizers, crop growth, and laboratory testing. The interactive setting allowed attendees to get their most pressing crop nutrition questions resolved, with excellent crowd participation going 'overtime' at the end.

For those who missed out on the session, you can purchase the 48-page full-color booklet for the 286-slide presentation for $100 (half the admission price), while supplies last. The 2012 Workshop booklet has updated information and more detailed explanations. The booklet contains many photos and descriptions of crop deficiency symptoms, as well as discussion of fertilizer sources, rates, and timing to prevent or alleviate those nutrient shortages.  Also included: Liming and other crop health topics such as herbicide impact, including glyphosate pre-plant or in preceding crops. Additional printed materials also included: An in-depth look at causation and mitigation of 'winterkill' of winter wheat (it's definitely not what you think it is); example fertilizer progams for wheat (sources, rates, timing); seed vigor testing; table of nutrient mobility in plants.
