Matcham Lab

The Matcham lab and our colleagues in the Petelewicz and Hammond labs are ready for a safe field season after reviewing WPS training for pesticide handlers!

It's beautiful and sunny in the field today, and I really enjoyed scouting plots and talking about weed pressure with Angel and Edmundo.

Silage corn is up, and the stand looks good! Perfect sunny day for the first set of fertilizer applications!

Congrats on an excellent poster presentation, @AgriAadil ! Great opportunity to learn more about K rate and timing for peanut production

Spring is here in Florida, and that means Angel and others from the Matcham Lab is out prepping Bahia and Bermuda grass plots for the 2024 field season!
