Dr. Tim Murray is Professor and Chair of the Department of Plant Pathology at Washington State University. He received a B.S. in Plant Science from the University of California Davis, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Plant Pathology from Washington State University. He joined WSU as a faculty member in 1983, where he conducts research on diseases of small grains and grasses and taught introductory plant pathology until 2013 when he joined the Dryland Cropping Systems Team as extension plant pathologist. Dr. Murray’s research focuses on sustainable management of soilborne wheat diseases, with emphasis on disease resistance, pathogen genetic variation, and soil health. He is author of A Colour Handbook of Diseases of Small Grain Cereal Crops (1998, 2009), co-editor of The Encyclopedia of Plant Pathology (2001) and Compendium of Wheat Diseases and Pests, 3rd edition (2010), and author of over 100 scientific publications.
Nematodes are microscopic worm-like organisms that feed on the roots of crop plants, causing significant yield loss. This talk will cover the major nematode diseases of cereals, namely cereal cyst nematode (Heterodera spp.)and root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus spp). The presentation will briefly cover biology, life cycles, symptoms, crop loss and management. State Pesticide Credits: WA-1, ID-7 total for day, OR-3 for day, NV-1, UT-1 CCA: Pest Management-1

Do your customers irrigate their crops? Have you taken a water sample to assess the quality of the irrigation water? Do you know what to look for when interpreting a water sample report? This session will provide you with the key information you need to help you understand and evaluate irrigation water quality. Appropriate use of good quality irrigation water can increase crop yield and quality and has literally made the desert bloom in Washington. Irrigation water quality includes the water pH as well as the specific ions that are found in the irrigation water. Irrigation water quality is important for all types of irrigation systems but it is especially important in low-volume irrigation systems such as drip and micro-sprinklers. In this session Dr. Petrie will discuss how to interpret an irrigation water analysis, focusing on pH, bicarbonate, boron, carbonate, chloride, nitrate, salts, and sodium in irrigation water and how these constituents can affect soil characteristics and crop yield.

New beneficial practices are adopted most quickly when a grower demonstrates the practice on-farm and shares results with other growers. "Experts", whether from academia or industry are not the first or most trusted sources of new information. Understanding this, partnering with innovative producers to demonstrate new products or practices is an effective way to promote new approaches to address our ever evolving agricultural challenges - if done correctly. This presentation will focus on creating successful participatory soil health related research and demonstration projects while avoiding common and potentially expensive, in terms of time and inputs, pit-falls.

Nitrogen (N) management is an important factor in wheat yield and quality. On-the-go protein monitor and remote sensing imagery provide data in addition to yield monitor data for better information on N uptake and removal. Knowledge derived from these data sources can be used to develop precision N strategies, mapping total N uptake, N removal from grain harvest, and N removal from residue harvest.

Assistant Professor, WSU
Thinking about macro- and micro-nutrients differently is our primary driver in new product development. For many years, macro- and micro-nutrients have been utilized as singular elements to aid in plant health and development. While these concepts are foundational, the time for taking a deeper dive is upon us. Implementing focus on impacting plant processes such as photosynthetic rate, abiotic and biotic stress mitigation, nitrogen use efficiency, and many others are just some of the ways we can by innovate in this industry. As we look into 2020 and beyond, new product development and implementation will be a critical component of our industry. Some of this can be achieved through unique nutrient combinations, others will be accomplished through biological assistance and newly discovered chemistries. As agronomists, we should move away from looking at plant nutrients as commodities and instead start thinking of them as unique tools to aid in plant growth and development.

Regional Agronomy Lead
Chloride (Cl) is an essential nutrient for wheat yield and quality. Soils in dryland wheat regions in the Washington state naturally have soil test Cl concentration lower than suggested critical levels. Farmers in the Washington state are recommended to apply Cl fertilizers when soil test level is lower than the critical concentration. This topic will discuss the 4R of Cl management strategy for different wheat varieties based on a 2-yr study in WA. CCA: Nutrient Management-1
