(KLZA)--The Nebraska Extension Service is sponsoring the soybean / corn disease field day beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 24th.
The first part of the field day will be held in the Ryan Beccard, soybean field research site located just east of Auburn on the southwest corner of the intersection of Highway 136 and Half Breed Road. Research at the site will focus on soybean diseased, particularly Soybean Cyst Nematode, which continues to cost Nebraska soybean growers millions of dollars each year.
The field day will continue with Loren Giesler an Extension Soybean Plant Pathologist discussing soybean disease research at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.
The tour will then move to the 4-H Building in Auburn at the Nemaha County Fairgrounds where dinner will be served.
Extension Corn Plant Pathologist Tamra Jackson will discus corn disease and the feasibility of treating corn with fungicides and the importance of identifying corn disease correctly.
