SUMMARY:Webinar: Organic Agriculture—Mitigating and Adapting to Climate Change Through Carbon Sequestration
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is the world’s greatest environmental challenge. Organic agriculture can help tackle climate change through its ability to store huge amounts of carbon. The purpose of this webinar is to provide insights into soil organic carbon accumulation potential of organic agriculture by leveraging research findings from Rodale Institute’s Farming Systems Trial—the longest-running side-by-side comparison of organic and conventional cropping systems in North America.  \n\n\n                 \n \n                        CompanyThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Zip/Postal Code*\n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        \n                        \n		                \n		                \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Webinar: The ABCs of Augmentative Biological Control
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this webinar has been cancelled. \nWhen pest populations climb\, beneficial insects in the environment can have difficulty controlling the situation. They need backup and farmers often turn to augmentative biological control\, or biocontrol. Releasing mass-reared insects like ladybeetles\, minute pirate bug\, lacewings\, etc. is a great way to quickly tackle pest pressure but there are best management practices farmers should follow in order to increase their efficacy. This presentation will walk through how to choose a biocontrol and best practices for releasing them.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Growing Industrial Hemp as a Multipurpose Crop in Organic Cropping Systems
DESCRIPTION:Commercial hemp (Cannabis sativa) production ceased throughout the U.S. in the early 1940s due to its close relationship to the marijuana plant. Thus\, little to no research on industrial hemp has been conducted over the past eighty years in the U.S. At Rodale Institute\, we have been investigating hemp as a nitrogen moderator in the hemp-malt barley (Hordeum vulgare) cropping system. \nIn this webinar\, our research scientist\, Dr. Madhav Dhakal will discuss nitrogen management in rotational organic no-tillage and conventional tillage systems with a focus on cover crop utilization. Current research demonstrates the influence of winter cover crops [hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) + field pea (Pisum sativum)] on nitrogen use efficiency\, yield\, and quality of hemp fiber and malt barley under two tillage [conventional tillage (CT) vs. no-tillage (NT)] practices and four supplemental nitrogen rates (0\, 50\, 100\, and 150 kg N ha˗1) in hemp and barley cropping system.  \nLearn more about Rodale Institute’s weed management program here. \n\n                 \n \n                        X/TwitterThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Zip/Postal Code*\n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        \n                        \n		                \n		                \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Exploring the Link Between Soil and Human Health—Protein\, Protein Quality\, and the Nutraceutical Amino Acid Ergothioneine
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will be a project update of a multidisciplinary project funded by the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR). This project seeks to link soil and human health by investigating the relationship between agricultural practices\, soil microbiology\, and crop nutrient quality in grain crops\, specifically wheat and corn. This study is measuring plant available nitrogen and soil microbial structure along with concentrations of protein\, amino acids\, B vitamins\, and the nutraceutical amino acid ergothioneine in grain crops produced in long-term systems trials\, on working farms\, and in controlled field and laboratory studies. \nActive research on ergothioneine is finding that this amino acid has antioxidant properties and increasingly apparent human health benefits. It is only biosynthesized by fungi and fungi-like bacteria\, is present in many foods\, and plants obtain it through an unknown mechanism where it is transferred up the food chain to animals and humans. Thus\, there should be a clear link between soil microbiomes\, ergothioneine biosynthesis in the soil\, its concentration in plants\, and human health. \n\n                 \n \n                        EmailThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Zip/Postal Code*\n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        \n                        \n		                \n		                \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Weed Management in Rotational Organic No-Tillage Systems
DESCRIPTION:Weed control in organic agriculture remains a major and enduring challenge and barrier to organic transition. The traditional way of managing weeds is tillage but it has several environmental concerns. In this webinar\, our research scientist\, Dr. Madhav Dhakal will discuss integrated weed management tactics in rotational organic no-tillage systems with a focus on cover crop utilization\, crop rotation\, and diversification in organic row crops and forage systems. Dr. Dhakal’s current research investigates soybean row configurations and plant density\, the effect of electrocution on weed dynamics in cover crop-based no-till soybean\, and cover crop management in the spring. \nLearn more about Rodale Institute’s weed management program here. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Replacing Plastic Mulch with Cover Crops in Organic Vegetable Production Systems for Economic Benefit\, Soil Health\, and Environmental Stewardship
DESCRIPTION:Extensive use of plastic mulches in food production systems has created massive concerns about the long-term sustainability of using this input. It is critical to find more effective yet environmentally friendly alternatives for plastic mulches to facilitate weed management in organic and conventional production systems. This is a necessary step towards developing more sustainable production systems with a lesser environmental impact that helps to build soil health over time. \nDuring this webinar we’ll review  preliminary results of the Specialty Crop Grant Project established in Camarillo CA where we assessed how replacing plastic mulches with cover crops and living mulches along with no-till and reduced till will affect artichokes and strawberries growth\, yield and quality (as a model crop but the results will be applicable to any other vegetable in the rotation)\, soil health\, irrigation water use efficiency\, weed suppression efficacy. \nLearn more about our California Organic Center here. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.
