ABOUT THE LIVE WEBINAR
Cover crops influence not only soil microbiology but also the odor molecules emitted by the following crop, shaping how pest insects perceive and feed on corn. Jared Ali, professor of entomology at Penn State, will discuss how farmers can use this emerging understanding to refine cover crop management. Participants will learn how cover crops affect more than nutrient cycling, offering an opportunity to anticipate and manage pest dynamics in next season’s corn.
