The 2024 Nebraska Extension Crop Production Clinics will kick off on Wednesday, Jan. 3, in Gering and head east across the state. Session topics will include crop production, insect management, pesticide safety, disease management, soil fertility, water management, weed management, and pesticide applicator recertification training will be available.
The day-long event will present research updates and information tailored to regional crop issues and grower interests. In the Panhandle and other areas, weed management of Palmer Amaranth is a major issue.
“I’ll be presenting data on comparing corn programs, which allows rotation to dry beans and sugar beets. Some of the crops sometimes limit what we can apply in our corn the previous year,” said Nevin Lawrence, Nebraska Extension Weed Management Specialist. “So, we’ll be comparing products, which have great flexibility in rotation for palmer amaranth management.”
The clinic will also offer Pesticide Applicator Recertification, where applicators can renew their license.
The Crop Production Clinic will be held on Jan. 3 at the Gering Civic Center.
