Farmers, other agricultural professionals and interested parties who work with corn following a previous corn crop can attend a corn rootworm management webinar later this month. The presentation will be held at 10:00 a.m. on March 26, hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Extension, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and the University of Illinois Extension.
Topics include a background and a research update on corn rootworms by Erin Hodgson, professor and extension specialist in entomology at Iowa State.
Other sessions will discuss Bt resistance and corn rootworm management by Nick J. Seiter, assistant professor and field crop entomologist, University of Illinois; and diversifying corn rootworm management to delay Bt resistance by Bryan Jensen, entomologist with the Integrated Pest Management Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
This webinar is free and open to the public and will be offered through ZOOM. While there is no charge to attend, but registration is required.
