In this 2025 National No-Tillage Conference session preview, hear from Thomas Dykstra, who’s back on the program by popular demand! The Gainesville, Fla.-based entomologist will be leading 2 sessions, “Exploring Electrical Conductivity in the Soil,” and “Using Insects as Indicators for Plant Health.”

Gainesville, Fla.-based entomologist Thomas Dykstra links relative plant health to specific insect damage, rather than grouping all insects together as mere competitors for our food.

Armed with a specialization in bioelectromagnetics, Thomas Dykstra introduces the concept of electrical conductivity (EC) in the soil as it relates to plants and microbes.

Whether growers are just looking to tweak their no-till operation or planning for big changes, there will be something for nearly everyone at the 33^rd annual National No-Tillage Conference that kicks off in January. The full program has been released for the 2025 conference, which is scheduled for Jan. 7-10 in at the Marriott Downtown in Louisville, Ky.
