Plan Now To Attend The MU Pest Management Field Day On July 7


and Extension Center near Colum- bia, Missouri. As in recent years, we have expanded the focus of this field day to include a variety of pest management topics that are of in- terest to agricultural industry rep-


T


resentatives, agrichemical dealers, Extension specialists, and producers throughout Missouri and surrounding states. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will include


guided wagon tours with stops that feature presentation of results and talks by university weed scientists, entomologists, plant patholo- gists, and agronomists. There will be a $10 registration fee collected at the time of check- in. This will cover costs associated with lunch and will provide each attendee with a tour booklet that describes the layout and location of each experiment. Some of the weed management research


topics and trials that will be discussed at this year’s field day include: herbicide plus fungi- cide plus fertilizer combinations in corn; weeds and herbicide programs common in Missouri corn and soybean fields (initial re- sults from a two-year survey); utility of pre- emergence herbicides in soybeans (results from a four-year research project); considera- tions of future herbicide-resistant crop offer- ings like dicamba-resistant and 2,4-D

resistant soybeans; specific results and recommen- dations for the control of glyphosate-resistant water- hemp and giant ragweed; movement of herbicide resistance through johnsongrass pollen; and as usual periodic stops along the guided tours to preview new herbicides and herbicide programs that will be avail- able in 2012 and beyond. Dr. Laura Sweets, state extension plant pathologist,


will provide an update on nematode seed treatment products as well as an update on the status of rust diseases in field crops. Dr. Jason Weirich, new ex- tension weed scientist located at the Delta Center, will also discuss the economic advantages of imple- menting resistant weed management programs. As usual, after lunch attendees will have the op- portunity to view plots that showcase a wide variety


of herbicide treatments and weed management sys- tems for use in corn, soybean, or grain sorghum on their own. This year we have more than 45 trials and 600 separate weed management treatments on dis- play at the research and extension center. For certified crop advisors, 2 CEU credits for the


field day are pending. If you plan on attending the field day, you must pre-register before July 5th by calling 573-884-7945 or by sending an e-mail to chismt@missouri.edu. The Bradford Research and Extension Center is lo-


cated 7 miles east of Columbia, off of highway WW. For more complete directions call 573-884-7945 or visit http://aes. missouri.edu/bradford/index.stm. ∆ DR. KEVIN BRADLEY: Professor, Plant Pathology, University of Missouri


Some Corn Showing Signs Of Potassium Deficiency A


PRINCETON, KY.


s the corn crop begins to show some height, some plants are showing signs of potassium de-


ficiency, which might be due to side- wall compaction. The compaction is likely the result


of producers planting in less-than- ideal conditions this spring when record rainfall caused significant planting delays across the state. Sidewall compaction makes it diffi- cult for plants to establish root sys- tems to get the nutrients they need


from the soil. In a sidewall com- paction situation, roots grow in the planting furrow, along the rows. With a potassium deficiency, lower


plant leaves will turn yellow first. The yellowing begins at the tip and travels along the outside plant leaf margin, eventually causing the leaves to turn brown and die. “The plants are likely lacking in


more than just potassium, but the potassium deficiency usually shows up first,” said Lloyd Murdock, exten- sion soil specialist with the University


of Kentucky College of Agriculture. Murdock said there’s little produc-


ers can do to alleviate sidewall com- paction on their own, as penetrating the compacted soil would likely de- stroy the plants. But, Mother Nature may be able to provide relief, espe- cially in cases where roots are start- ing to break through the compacted soil. “In most cases, the plants’ roots


will penetrate the soil with time, especially if we have good moisture,”
