Introducing “Focus on Soybean”
PMN is proud to announce its next-generation
resource for crop management professionals,
including growers, consultants, researchers,
extension personnel, and students.
Focus on Soybean is the first in
a series of topics targeting the production of
specific crops. The central feature of these
focus topics will be educational webcasts
presented by acknowledged experts in crop
production and protection. An introduction to
the
focus topic concept can be viewed online.
Focus on
Soybean currently provides 4.5 hours
of audio webcasts in eleven presentations with
others in the making. Through this and future
focus topics on other crops, PMN provides a
centralized portal for credible information
serving specific commodities and industries. In
addition to the webcasts, focus pages also
include search engines for related journal
articles, extension publications, images, and
other web-based resources.
Focus on
Soybean is partially funded by PMN’s
partners in the soybean industry. Information on
becoming a
PMN Partner is available online.
PMN Welcomes the University of Tennessee Institute
of Agriculture
 The
Plant Management Network welcomes the
University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture
as its newest land-grant partner.
Tennessee’s forests, pastures, and farmlands are its
classrooms. So are the state’s gardens and
arboretums, wetlands, and watersheds. The classrooms
and teaching programs of the UT Institute of
Agriculture are as varied as the people they serve.
Its programs assist students, farmers, families, 4-H
and other youth, agribusinesses, state and federal
agencies, consumers, and the general public. The
Institute of Agriculture is made up of the College
of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, the
Agricultural Experiment Station, and UT Extension.
PMN welcomes all land-grant and academic/research
institutions worldwide in building a true network in
the applied agricultural and horticultural sciences.
For information on the partners program, please
visit us online or
inquire by email.
2007 Salute to Partners...
Thank you to these industry, not-for-profit, and
academic partners. Together they support the Plant
Management Network and its mission: Providing
Science-Based Solutions in Agriculture and
Horticulture.
