Agribusiness professionals, consultants, and educators who work with farmers will learn new strategies for identifying and responding to a variety of crop problems at an early season workshop at Purdue University's Pinney Purdue Ag Center (PPAC) near Wanatah.
Participants will gain practical knowledge that will help them assist farmers in managing the nutrients, pests, and environmental factors that influence plant growth and affect crop yields. The workshop is presented by experts from the Purdue Extension Field Crops team.
The workshop is scheduled at Pinney Purdue Ag Center on Thursday, June 20, from 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. CDT. The training will cover topics relating to corn development, weed control, drone technology, soil health assessments, and irrigation sensors.
