I'm tenured! It's official if it's in published right? Thankful for our Dr. Nicholas T. Basinger team for their hard work and dedication to teaching, research, and outreach. news.uga.edu/uga-approved-t…

Spring flowers are in bloom🌷...and so are spring weeds🌱Fundamentals of Weed Science, now in its 6th edition, continues to inform on responsible and effective weed control backed by the latest scientific research: bit.ly/3OhQs2b Dr. Nicholas T. Basinger #plantsci #agronomy

This is a great opportunity for #WSSA graduate students to broaden their knowledge of weed science and network with professionals from other universities, industry, or government. Please share this with any students who might be interested.

So how many spot spraying companies are there now? With accessibility of tech and the clear margins involved, the spot spraying market has flourished. Here's a (non exhaustive) thread of all that I've come across.

Borrowed from MSU Extension Field Crops Monica Jean on FB 😆

Here's a recap of the full first day of the GROW.IWM summer meeting. We started with an overview of dryland wheat production systems from our host, Dr. Ian Burke, at the fieldhouse of WSU's Wilke Research Farm.

Then we got out in the field to see a demonstration of the WeedIt green-on-brown smart sprayer system that is widely used for chem fallow management between wheat crops. Apparently this system pays for itself with herbicide savings in just a few years for average size farms here.

Michael Flessner also took the opportunity to share some insights from his lab's work with the JD see-and-spray system, and how it differs from the WeedIt.

Also at the Wilke Farm we saw trials using food compost for nutrient recycling, examining the viability of cover crops in such a dry system, and automated monitoring of weed seedling emergence with the goal of developing emergence models to inform management decisions.

After lunch Dr. Burke took us on a scenic tour of the Scablands and Palouse while on our way to Pullman to see some on-farm harvest weed seed control innovations. Had a bit of vehicle trouble, but that just meant we had more time to take pictures and look at weeds.

At the on-farm site we saw the insides of a Seed Terminator impact mill and heard from the operators how adopting this technology for long-term weed seedbank management has led to a number of other changes to their crop production and harvesting systems.

I got lazier about taking pictures as the day went on, but Day 1 wrapped up with dinner at the Round Top Public House, looking out over the Palouse into Idaho. It was a much better view than this picture provides, but this hopefully gives you a good idea. More on Day 2 soon!

Cheers to the end of an amazing GROW summer meeting in the beautiful Palouse region of SE WA, led by Ian Burke! We learned so much about the region's unique cropping systems, weed challenges, HWSC and WSU Pullman research!

Excited to announce that we will be hiring a Research Professional to assist with our field and lab research program. Looking for a great person for this position. More details: ugajobsearch.com/postings/399107 CropSoilUGA UGA CAES Alumni UGA CAES Students UGA Extension GROW.IWM
