Reading soil test results and understanding the meaning of those results is just one of several topics that will be discussed during the West Ohio Agronomy offered by Ohio State University Extension and Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center researchers, educators and agronomists.
Open to growers statewide, the program is designed to help growers produce higher yields while maintaining a strong financial bottom line.
Some of the topics participants will learn about in the courses include:
Correct rate of pesticides mixed in the tank
Soybean yield-limiting factors in west central Ohio
Insect management in field crops
New recommendations for nutrient application
Cover crops
Resistant weed management
Fumigation
Manure management and fly control
Introduction to precision agriculture
The program will also feature a grain market update and will offer programs for farmers looking for Private Pesticide Applicator Recertification Credits, as well as programs that offer Continuing Education Units for Certified Crop Advisers.
