Pesticides & Water Quality Seminar
Wallace State Office Building Auditorium
Des Moines, IA
9:30 AM - 12:00 PM
April 23, 2003


The Pesticide Bureau of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land 
Stewardship is hosting the Pesticides & Water Quality Seminar.  Presentations 
will be made by Dr. Mary Skopec, Iowa Department of Natural Resources / Iowa 
Geological Survey on a project that investigated selected pesticides and 
compared sales data and water quality and a project by Rich Pope, Iowa State 
University Extension, which compared selected pesticides by sales data to 
cropping patterns.

Discussions will relate to atrazine, isoxaflutole, and other selected 
herbicides that have been identified in surface and ground water monitoring 
activities.  Both investigators have used Geographic Information System 
applications to illustrate the relationships between the selected active 
ingredients and pesticide residues in water or cropping patterns.

The investigation projects and this seminar have been funded through a 
matching grant with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region VII and 
the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.  There is no 
registration fee to attend this seminar.  

The Wallace State Office Building Auditorium has a capacity of 283.  Please 
feel free to invite a colleague who may have an interest in the seminar.  If 
you have questions, please contact me.
