This series on pesticide resistance management is to give field growers with fruit, vegetable and specialty crops a holistic view on pesticide resistance. We will cover basics of pesticide resistance then dive deeper into insecticide, herbicide and fungicide resistance and management. Register with the link below, you will be able to attend all sessions. Sessions will start each day at 12pm with a 30-minute presentation followed by question and answer period.

• Resources for success

Insecticide Resistance – Tuesday January 26^th 12-1pm

• 16,000 cases and counting

Herbicide Resistance – Wednesday January 27^th 12-1pm

• Mechanisms of Herbicide Resistance
• Herbicide Risk (WSSA groups, low vs high risk products)
• Weed Risk – Current resistant weed situation: Focus on Amaranthus spp.

Fungicide Resistance – Thursday January 28^th 12-1pm

• Fungicide Risk (FRAC groups, multi-site vs single-site, low vs high risk products)
• Diseases at Risk (diseases at high risk, factors that increase resistance)
