Date: June 13
Time: 1:30am-4:00pm
Location: Russell E. Larson Research Center, CENTRE Co.

This hands-on field day highlights a unique project at Penn State dedicated to organic transition research. The “site” is in its final year in transition to organic production, and our discussions and activities will focus on the interaction between soil and cover crop management and its impact on weed populations and soil quality. We'll look at several types of cover crops in an organic cover crop demonstration garden to discuss how cover crops can be used to manage annual and perennial weeds and soil quality. This field day will have something to offer all types of producers, educators, students and ag professionals.

This field day will be presented by Mary Barbercheck, Sustainable Agriculture, PSU Dept. of Entomology; Dave Mortensen, Weed Ecology, PSU Dept. of Crop and Soil Sciences; Dave Sandy, Organic Transition Project Coordinator, PSU Depts. of Entomology and Crop and Soil Sciences.
