Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB’s): What Are They and What Can We Do About ThemDr. Ciera Baird n Aquatic ControlHarmful algal blooms (HAB’s) of toxin producing cyanobacteria (blue-green algal) are becoming more severe and more frequent in the Midwest and across the United States. Not only are HAB’s a source of risk to people, plants and animals; they can have devastating impacts on property values, crop yields, and tourism revenues. This presentation will cover fundamental information about HAB’s, the risks they can pose, the types of conditions that promote their growth, and how to avoid risks. Finally, proactive monitoring and management solutions will be discussed to provide information on how we can effectively and efficiently maintain the quality and uses of our water resources.1 CCH requested in Categories: 3A - 3B - 5 - RT

Beyond Round—Up” There Are Options That WorkKyle Daniel n Purdue UniversityGlyphosate (Round-Up) has been the go to herbicide in landscapes and nurseries for many years due to its many positive attributes including systemic activity, non-selectivity, soil inactivity, ease of use, and more. Due to intense scrutiny by the media regarding the potential for glyphosate as a cancer causing agent; homeowners are beginning to question landscape and turf professionals on the use of the product on their properties. Some landscape companies have had to abandon the use of glyphosate completely on some properties. A common question Kyle has received is “What herbicide can I use to replace glyphosate?” The quick answer is that not one product will replace glyphosate. Multiple herbicides will have to be used in place of glyphosate depending on the weeds present, growth stage of those weeds, and ornamentals in the area. Our talk today will discuss the scientific consensus of glyphosate and cancer, potential alternatives to glyphosate use in landscapes, and replacements for specific hard-to-control weeds.1 CCH requested in Categories: 2 - 3A - 3B - 6 - RT

This presentation will emphasize the use of personal protective equipment focusing on N95 respirators and strategies that deal with transporting pesticides over the road and particularly over railroad tracks. The goal is simply to incorporate a few ideas and strategies for keeping people safe when handling and transporting pesticides.1 CCH requested in Categories: 2 - 3A - 3B - 5 - 6 - 7A - 8 - RT

CLASSROOMS B AND C

The Economics of Crabgrass and Nutsedge Control Products—Getting The Most Effect for your BuckDr. David Gardner n The Ohio State UniversitySome new post-emergent herbicide products have come to market recently for the control of crabgrass and nutsedge. In addition, this has resulted in changes to the recommendations for the use of other products that have been on the market for some time.In this session, Dr. Gardner will compare the economics and effectiveness of these post-emergent products to that of the pre-emergence options also available. We will also discuss new options available for nutsedge control.1 CCH Requested in Categories: 3B - RT

Shrub Disease DiagnosisDr. Janna Beckerman n Purdue UniversityWe have brought you this shrubbery diagnostic application because diagnosing shrub problems is challenging.

Purdue Shrub Doctor App and then show you how to use it to identify many of the common disease problems shrubs have, how to distinguish between look-alikes, how to recognize key symptoms and signs, and when to call in the Knights, or the Purdue Diagnostic Clinic, for laboratory confirmation.1 CCH Requested in Categories: 3A – RT

Native Shrubs for Indiana LandscapesRosie Lerner n Purdue UniversityWhat a great way to wind up our series of talks on shrubs and their care!

Weed Control in Landscape BedsDr. David Gardner n The Ohio State UniversityUsing herbicides in and around high dollar landscaping plants may seem daunting, but there are products that can help with your management of weeds in landscaping beds. The key is to properly identify the weeds, recognize their life cycles, and apply the right products at the right time in order to get good control. We will also discuss those weeds for which we don’t have good selective control options and how optimizing cultural management practices can help.1 CCH Requested in Categories: 2 - 3A - RT

Providing Quality Applications In The New Normal = Workforce ConsistencyRoger Fairchild n Fairchild Consulting Life is simply not going to be the same in the labor market as business recovers from the long-term effects of COVID19. Customers are going to be more concerned about what is going on in their lawns and landscapes. Owners and Managers must then work hard to recruit, hire, and retain those individuals who will and can do the job right each and every time. Roger will review the unemployment rates for 2020, discuss sources of recruiting, and how to find people with a background that will fit the new environment we will now find ourselves in, and how to staff our business for long term success. If you are an Owner or Manager, this talk is aimed at you as pestide use, and those who apply them, will get far more scrutiny than ever.1 CCH requested in Categories: 3A - 3B - RT

The Root of the MatterJim Chatfield n Ohio State University Extension“Unless you put the right thing to the root” in the words of Robert Frost; you will be in big trouble relative to overall plant health, increased susceptibility to pathogens and pests, optimal growth, and aesthetic beauty. The right thing for those roots includes adequate soil oxygen for that plant, and often that means adequate organic matter that results in better long-term soil structure. Let’s talk the nature of root systems, the best way to nuture root health, and going beyond mere “chicken soup for the soul.”1 CCH requested in Categories: 2 - 3A - RT
