The University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment is pleased to announce a series of four informative webinars on field crop protection, starting Nov. 2. Hosted by the Southern Integrated Pest Management Center, these webinars feature UK Cooperative Extension Service pest management specialists delving into critical plant pathology, weed science and entomology topics.
