University of Idaho Snake River Pest Management Research Tours that will be held at the Aberdeen R&E Center (1693 South 2700 West) on June 27th and the Kimberly R&E Center (3806 North 3600 East) on June 28th.
Both tours begin with registration at 8:00 am and the tour starting at 8:30 am. A sponsored lunch at noon will conclude the tours. Attendees will received 3 ISDA pesticide applicator recertification credits at each location.
A list of some of the disease, insect and weed control studies we will see at Kimberly on June 28th in sugarbeets-
1. Comparing sugar beet productivity, disease, insect, and weed incidence and management in three tillage systems.
2. Influence of irrigation incorporation timing on the effectiveness of soil-active herbicides applied with glyphosate for weed control in sugarbeet.
3. Tank mixtures of glyphosate with other herbicides, fungicides and insecticides for weed control in sugarbeet.
4. Comparison of Warrant application timing and tank mixtures to Outlook tank mixtures with glyphosate for weed control in sugarbeet.
5. Soil water content, disease, insect, and weed response in strip-till sugarbeets.
6. Effects of beet leafminer flies on sugar beet yield.
7. Sugarbeet leafminer and bean aphid insecticide trial.
8. Sugarbeet root aphid resistant variety and insecticide trial.
9. In-furrow applied fungicides for the control of Rhizoctonia damping-off and late season Rhizoctonia.
10. Effects of different irrigation levels on the severity of Rhizoctonia root rot.
11. Pocket diagnostic kits for the detection of Rhizomania
