North Dakota State University Extension will host the 28th annual Wild World of Weeds Workshop on Jan. 20, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Fargodome in Fargo, North Dakota.

The full-day event will provide updates on weed control and herbicide research conducted by NDSU faculty. The event will feature a keynote address from Aaron Hager, professor of weed science at the University of Illinois. Virtual attendance will be available.

“This event highlights the depth and breadth of weed science research across the state,” says Joe Ikley, NDSU Extension weed specialist and assistant professor. “Dr. Hager, our keynote speaker, will discuss his experience with waterhemp that has metabolic resistance to several herbicide sites of action.”

The workshop is open to all, but registration is required. Attendees are urged to register by Jan. 14 to allow adequate time for arrangements to be made. The cost to attend is the same for both in-person and virtual options, and lunch is included for in-person attendees.

The early bird registration fee is $100 through Jan. 13. The cost is $150 after that date.

Registration and a detailed agenda are available at ndsu.ag/WWWW26.

Certified crop advisers can earn up to six pest management continuing education units for attending the workshop.
