Agronomy conference recap now available online

Slides from presenters at Agronomy Update in January are now being posted online.

So far, there are slides from presentations on weed control, the “lygus apocalypse,” effect of heat and drought on pests, fungicide application, soil sensors, how pulses impact soil health, fertilizer considerations for 2022, cover cropping, herbicide carry-over, herbicide-resistant weeds, pulse research, secondary crop growth in canola, and on-farm research.

The event attracted more than 500 producers and “each presenter was inundated with questions,” Alberta Wheat and Alberta Barley said in a release. The two cereal commissions along with Alberta Pulse and Alberta Canola took over the event from the provincial Ag Department last year.
