SUMMARY:The Key to Crop Nutrition: Establishing Biology at Planting to Supply Nutrients
DESCRIPTION:We are seeing more and more evidence that shows the important role that biology plays in crop health and quality. We now know that biology in the soil can deliver more of the crop’s nutrients than we expect and that key realization is being too often ignored. But for our crops to take advantage of soil biology\, we first need to have vigorous microbial populations established at germination. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Best Management Practices for Invasive Species in Rights of Way
DESCRIPTION:Join Matt Wallrath and Anne Pearce as we discuss how to identify and manage invasive species in rights of way. This training is focused towards designers\, managers and practitioners doing roadside and utility work. By recognizing and preventing troublesome plants\, municipalities can avoid infrastructure damage and increased maintenance cost. \nMatt will present best management practices for planning and implementing right of way operations with invasive species in mind\, as well as offering insight into our recent publication with Dane County on integrated pest management for five common but impactful roadside species. Anne will offer tools to aid in your planning such as an invasive species phenology calendar\, the Eddmaps.org reporting and monitoring app\, and where to find Wisconsin specific control resources for specific plants. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:The Impact of Climate Change on Street Trees in California
DESCRIPTION:Climate change will alter the species composition of urban tree populations through a combination of modified precipitation regimes and increased temperatures. Likely changes in the composition of common street tree species in California were examined using the ‘space-for- time’ substitution method. Sixteen cities covering the climatic range of the state (“representative city”) were paired with a “warm city” counterpart\, where the climate of today approximates the climate of the representative city in 2099. Of the 140 tree species found\, as many as 83 species may be unsuitable for the future warmer climate in specific cities. This change is geographically non-uniform\, with greater losses (up to 100% of common species unsuitable for future climate) found in cities away from the coast. In contrast\,applying the “climate envelope” approach\, i.e.\, assessing climate suitability of tree species from published sources based on the geographic distribution of a species\, reduces the number of unsuitable species to as few as 14\, although a more rigorous “professional judgment” approach that accounts for the substantial gaps in the “climate envelope” information results in 56 unsuitable tree species. The difference between the observed and estimated results (83 unsuitable species vs. 56) is likely caused by the climate envelope information insufficiently accounting for the irrigation needs of newly-planted street trees in the Mediterranean-type climates like California. The results of this study demonstrate the viability of the ‘space-for- time’ substitution method for evaluating possible climate change effects on urban trees\, and suggest both an immediate need to re-evaluate the planting palette of street trees\, and a long-term imperative to trial new tree species. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Intensification of the Rural Landscape: Protecting Soil Health\, Water Quality and Farm Profitability
DESCRIPTION:Rural landscapes are complex physical and biological systems integrating cropland\, forestland and riparian zones\, crop rotations and nutrient cycling\, a balance of pests and pathogens\, and other interactions. Many producers seek to redesign their cropping systems guided by agro-ecological principles whereby soil health and ecological services accumulate in mutually supportive ways. They are actively involved in devising\, testing\, and evaluating new and innovative practices on their farms to enhance biodiversity and beneficial interactions\, improve resilience and mitigate risk. Attendees at this Michigan Chapter of the Soil and Water Conservation Society Seminar will discover practical and sustainable ways to manage the rural landscape through five presentations. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Pesticide Applicator Training Program
DESCRIPTION:The UW Pesticide Applicator Training Program has created multiple formats for private applicator trainings to address increased training demand. \nA private applicator is someone that applies restricted use pesticides to produce an agricultural commodity on their own property or the property owned or rented by an employer. Examples of agricultural commodities are grain and forage crops\, fruit crops or horticulture products. A restricted use pesticide can be identified by checking the label of the product you wish to use. \nA Private Applicator Certification is valid for 5 years. There are three steps toward certification: purchasing the training manual\, training and taking the test. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Treating Tile Drainage with Farm-Scale Constructed Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:In the webinar\, “Tile Flows\, Backhoes and Microbes: Constructed Wetlands for Subsurface Drainage Treatment\,” Kostel will discuss the siting\, design and implementation of constructed tile-treatment wetlands that use the naturally occurring wetland functions and processes to capture and remove nutrients from tile flow. Showcasing farm-based Illinois NRCS 656 constructed wetlands\, she will discuss how appropriately sited and designed wetlands serve a key role in supporting profitable farming operations while addressing nitrogen loss. In addition\, Kostel will highlight the nutrient reductions observed through research conducted on two constructed wetlands in Illinois. \n“Reducing nitrogen loads in water leaving tile drainage systems is of critical importance to water quality efforts and often the use of constructed wetlands is underutilized practice\,” said Kostel. “The implementation of these structures has not only proven to leverage the natural and sustainable removal of nutrients\, but they also provide other benefits such as climate resiliency\, wildlife habitat and recreation opportunities. I hope to participants in this webinar will leave with a better understanding of this effective practice and will take constructed wetlands into consideration as a part of their conservation planning.” \nInfo here.
