We started at two of my @GetRidOfWeeds network projects, 1) integrating cover crops & residuals for weed management in soybean across broad environmental gradients, & 2) development of computer vision systems for crop & weed mapping. No selfies so here's a damaged water sensor

We then heard about "planting green" into rye cover crops, nutrient management, and herbicide programs for weed management in corn from @Bcunn8

Moving on to the impacts of long-term cover crop use in corn/soybean rotations on waterhemp population dynamics from @BayronH1994

Then updates on interseeding wheat between soybean rows as an early-season IPM strategy, providing weed control and reducing prevalence of weedy hosts for soybean cyst nematode from @colinjbarclay

Kept it moving with updates on a multi-state research collaboration testing metribuzin rates to maximize pre-emergence weed control and minimize crop injury in early-planted soybean from @EllaPoling

The field tour ended with updates on the dozens of herbicide trials run by @OhioStWeedSci and @DobbelsTony, where I also got some nice weed pics for slides for my class this fall

And then we wrapped it all up over a delicious lunch while @OurWeeds introduced himself as our new Specialty Crop Weed Science State Specialist over Zoom. Really looking forward to having him join the team in just over a month!

We appreciate everyone that stuck it out with us as the remnants of Hurricane Beryl gave Ohio a bit of much needed rain! We're already getting out our lucky charms to make sure we have better weather and will be seeing the rest of you all next year!
