Reflection
A group activity in class will involve students being divided into teams (groups). Each team will consider issues related to a family member and present to the class. Issues for consideration could include, Team Eric: Biofuel policy, profitability of hybrid corn production, and foliar diseases. Team Pablo: scouting for diseases, foliar fungicides, and plant health benefits of using foliar fungicides. Team Brad: Sustainable IPM, foliar disease management, and disease risk in corn production.
