It’s time for the world series of weeds. Cornell will host the 2010 Northeastern Collegiate Weed Science Contest July 27 at the university’s Homer Thompson Vegetable Research Farm in Freeville, N.Y.
The purpose of the contest is to provide an educational experience for students in agricultural and environmental related fields of study who have a special interest in weed science. Undergraduate and graduate student teams participate in four contest segments: weed identification, herbicide identification, sprayer calibration and on-farm problems. A record number of students — 105 registered from as far away as Florida, Canada and the Midwest — are expected to attend this year’s contest.
