The Wild World of Weeds Workshop is happening in-person Tuesday at the Fargodome. The program features a look at dry bean, sugarbeet, potato and small grain weed management. NDSU Extension Weed Specialist Joe Ikley says there will also be a keynote address from WinField United Senior Research Manager Greg Dahl. “Greg worked at NDSU as a pesticide program coordinator years ago.” New federal regulations will be top-of-mind at the workshop. Last week, the EPA re-registered Enlist Duo and Enlist One for seven years, but limited the use of the products in some areas due to endangered species concerns. A handful of northwest Minnesota counties will not be able to use Enlist Duo. Ikley says EPA’s label changes caught some by surprise. “There are three or four counties in the Red River Valley where we can’t use Enlist Duo, the pre-mix of glyphosate and 2,4D, but those counties can use Enlist One in those counties.”
