Trial Results may be seen on the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus website: www.rid~etownc.on.ca December, 2005 To Those Interested in Insect and Plant Disease Control in Sugar Beets and Seed Corn: We appreciate the cooperation and assistance provided by the various companies and their representatives, their ideas and the samples they have provided for the research work carried out at the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus. We also appreciate the cooperation of our farmer co-operators who have provided land and assisted in working the land, applying fertilizer, herbicides and planting the crop. We are indebted to those companies, processor and grower groups who feel this type of research program is desirable and are prepared to financially support this endeavour. Technical assistance was expertly directed by Mrs. Phyllis May of our college staff, and aided by Kyle Kellam, William Long, Brian Murray and Joel Sikkema. I wish to thank them. We trust that the information provided by this research will fkther the science of insect and plant disease control, and to assist companies in firthering their registrations of agricultural chemicals that will prove beneficial to our Ontario farmers. This booklet takes on a new look including both the sugar beet and seed corn interests. I have also expanded our research into irrigation for both these crops for the benefit of not only the Ontario but also the Michigan growers. Special acknowledgement to the CORD funding program is made on the following page. Permission to reproduce any or all parts of this booklet must be approved by the author. Yours truly, Dr. R.E.
