Ohio Weed Resistance Management Workshops

The Ohio AgriBusiness Association (OABA) and the Ohio Soybean Association (OSA) have joined forces to offer a one-of-a-kind event series: the Ohio Weed Resistance Workshops. The workshop program will be presented at three events across the state on, February 28, February 29 and March 1, 2012 and is being offered at no cost to registered participants.

The OABA will join with the Ohio Soybean Association and, along with the support of all of our sponsors, put on these workshops. This will be a unique opportunity for both farmers and custom applicators dealing with herbicide resistance to get up to speed on the current state of weed resistance management in Ohio and get insight into future projections, as well as learn about how best to manage it and how to utilize latest technologies.

Presenters will include researchers Dr. Mark Loux and Tony Dobbels of The Ohio State University Department of Horticulture and Crop Science. Representatives from Monsanto and other experts in weed resistance round out the program. In addition to individual speaker presentations, the events will feature a panel discussion with Q&A. CCA credits for the sessions will be available.

All three workshops will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. and will be followed by a lunch. The dates and locations are as follows:
