10:15-11:00 - Dealing with the Double Whammy of Sudden Death Syndrome and Soybean Cyst Nematode Expansion in NY
Jamie Cummings, NYS Integrated Pest Management Field Crops and Livestock Coordinator

Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) of soybean has expanded throughout many production regions across NYS since its discovery in 2012. Given the known correlation between SDS infection and presence of the Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN), statewide efforts were made to survey for SCN in NYS. Since its first discovery in 2016 in one field in Cayuga County, a recent 2019 SCN survey confirmed this pest in seven more fields in six additional counties. The biology, epidemiology, association and management of SDS and SCN will be discussed.

11:00-11:45 - The Biology and Ecology of Palmer amaranth and Waterhemp: what you need to know, now, to avoid problems later
Dr. Lynn Sosnoskie, Weed Biologist, Cornell School of Integrative Plant Science
Dr. Lynn Sosnoskie is a newly hired Assistant Professor of Weed Ecology and Management in Specialty Crop at Cornell University. Although her research will focus, primarily, on NY's fruit and vegetable industry, she will also be involved in documenting the distribution of herbicide resistant weeds in the state as well as characterizing their resistance profiles. Dr. Sosnoskie has spent more than a decade studying the dioecious amaranth (Palmer amaranth and waterhemp), with a specific interest on understanding how biological characteristics (such as emergence patterns, growth rate, reproductive output) affect weed management success.

Avian Disease and Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza - the latest updates and what it means for poultry health

In light of the state of HPAI across the country and in NYS, the Poultry Subgroup of the Livestock PWT has developed two webinars to assist small farms and backyard laying flock owners to make informed decisions around getting laying hens and managing disease, while keeping abreast of the current status of HPAI and how they can keep it out of their flocks.

Join Dr. Jarra Jagne of Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine and Dr. Chad Wall of NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets for an evening of learning about avian disease, including Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). We'll cover:
