The January 2010 edition of the Crop Health Workshop had a superb audience of producers and agronomists from Texas to South Dakota. 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 283-slide presentation for $100 (half the admission price), while supplies last. The Aug '09 Workshop booklet is expanded by 50% over previous editions, and substantially revised. More color photos, and more detailed explanations. Plus, an in-depth look at causation and mitigation of 'winterkill' of winter wheat (it's definitely not what you think it is). The booklet contains many photos and descriptions of crop deficiency symptoms, as well as fertilizer sources, rates, and timing to prevent or alleviate those shortages. Additional printed materials also included: Example fertilizer progams for wheat (sources, rates, timing); seed vigor testing; explanation of equivalency basis for cations (important when comparing fertilizer source pricing for some nutrients, as well as evaluating liming materials and manure); chart of nutrient mobility in plants.
