SUMMARY:Summer Lecture Series: The State of Agrochemical Use in the U.S. and World
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Dr. Andrew Smith\, Chief Operating Officer\n \nAlthough great advances have been made to develop non-chemical strategies to manage pests in agriculture\, the amounts and toxicity of chemicals used on farms in the United States continues to increase and is highest among all developed countries. This conversation will cover the current state of agrochemical use in the United States\, why we are using these chemicals\, and how we can begin to wean ourselves off of chemical dependency.\n \n PLEASE NOTE: This is an in-person event—a virtual option is not available. \n\n\n \n Browse other lectures in our Summer Lecture Series:  See Other Events\n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Reducing Tillage to Improve Soil Health and Organic Grain Production—Research Update of the USDA NRCS Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) Project
DESCRIPTION:Reducing tillage is a challenging yet rewarding task for organic farmers. Different from conventional farmers who spray herbicides\, organic farmers sometimes have to use frequent tillage to prepare the seed bed and/or to cultivate to control weeds\, compromising their full potential in building soil health. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Yichao Rui\, Principal Investigator\, and Annie Benson\, Research Technician\, will provide an update of 3 years’ research findings of the USDA NRCS funded Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) project “Innovations in Cover Crop-Based Organic No-till Systems”. The efficacy of innovative tools in terminating cover crops\, controlling weeds\, supporting yields\, and maintaining soil health will be discussed. The challenges and opportunities in reducing tillage intensity and frequency in organic grain production systems will be highlighted. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.
