The annual Spring Pest Management Training will be held Feb. 25 online. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service event will once again be virtual due to the increase in COVID-19, said the event organizer.
The cost is $60, and preregistration is required at https://tx.ag/SpringIPM22. The event will be from 8:15 a.m.-3 p.m., and offers a full day of pesticide applicator continuing education taught by AgriLife Extension experts and community professionals.
“You will receive the latest updates on pesticide laws, pest biology and identification, and pest management strategies,” said event organizer Chrissie Segars, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension turfgrass specialist, Dallas.
“As always, participants are eligible to receive continuing education units, whether their license is from Texas Department of Agriculture or the TDA’s Texas Structural Pest Control Service,” she said.
This year’s online training offers five agriculture and five structural CEUs.
