The ISU Extension and Outreach Weed Science program held a Weed Science Field Day on July 2, 2025 at Curtiss Farm in Ames. The day provided approximately 90 farmers and crop industry consultants in attendance with the latest information on integrated weed management practices, herbicide efficacy and application timing and new technologies.

ISU weed scientist and ISRC faculty research affiliate Wesley Everman, with the help of area ISU Extension agronomists, led a tour of some of the trials in progress at Curtiss Farm. Everman has approximately 60-70 herbicide evaluation and weed control trials this year to evaluate new and existing herbicides for weed control in corn and soybeans.
