WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Improving crop stress tolerance, enhancing water quality, maximizing yield and decreasing the risks associated with shifting weed, disease and weather constraints to crop production are the themes of this year's Indiana Certified Crop Adviser Conference Dec. 17-18 in Indianapolis.
The annual two-day conference is designed to allow Certified Crop Advisers, or CCAs, the opportunity to earn up to 16 continuing education credits. Sessions will be presented by experts from companies and eight universities, including Purdue.
"We have a total of 37 speakers on topics relevant to nutrient, soil and water, pest and crop management, as well as specialty sessions covering irrigation and new technology tools for crop consultants," said Tony Vyn, conference co-chair and Purdue Extension agronomist.
A list of presentation topics and speakers is available on the Indiana CCA website at http://www.indianacca.org/. Most sessions will be offered twice - once in the morning and once in the afternoon - so participants can choose different topics.
