The Purdue Weed Science team is hosting an educational field day for farmers, agricultural industry professionals, Extension educators, consultants and others who apply herbicides.
Purdue Weed Day will be held July 3rd at the Throckmorton Purdue Agricultural Center, 8343 U.S. 231 S., Lafayette.
“Highlights for the event will be new herbicide-resistant crops, herbicides for control of giant ragweed and waterhemp, and the latest information on weed control technology that our graduate students are working on,” said Bill Johnson, Purdue professor of weed science.
Registration will begin at 8:00 AM EDT, and the program will begin at 8:30. We will view the plots on the west side of highway 231 in the early part of the morning, and at a second site 1 mile east of TPAC during the latter part of the morning. The Throckmorton PAC farm is located approximately 5 miles south of Lafayette on the corner of county road 800S and U.S. 231 South. For those attending the 2018 Purdue Weed Day at Throckmorton, we have applied for 3 CCH’s for category 1A. Please register below. You may also call Lisa Gross at 765-494-9871.
