According to our recent survey, waterhemp has become the most concerning weed species in Wisconsin row crop production. The University of Wisconsin Nutrient and Pest Management Program (NPM) and the WiscWeeds Program would like to invite farmers, agronomists, industry representatives, and educators to attend the 2019 “Waterhemp Management Challenge” Plot Tour on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 at the Lancaster Agricultural Research Station (7396 State Rd 35 & 81, Lancaster, WI 53813).
