For NJ applicators in 10, 1A and PP2
4 category credits.
A virtual workshop will be held on March 24 from 8 am to 11 am for farmers interested in learning how to use integrated weed management (IWM)) techniques to control troublesome weeds in their fields. This is the fifth year for the workshop series, which is a collaborative effort between the University of Maryland, Virginia Tech, and the University of Delaware.
Education regarding weed identification and integrated management strategies continues to be critically important to enable early intervention and effective management options. 2022 is shaping up to be especially challenging with anticipated shortages of many commonly used herbicides. The 2022 workshop series will provide tactics to manage important weeds given limited herbicide availability and increased input prices. Material covered will target row-crop production systems, but tactics learned may be applicable to other systems. These workshops are free, but participants will need to register at https://go.umd.edu/IWM.
Pesticide credits will be available for MD, DE, NJ and WV. Two hours of CCA continuing education credits will be offered for each session.
For more information, contact Kurt Vollmer at (443) 446-4260 or Ben Beale at (301) 475- 4481.
If you are attending from NJ, contact Melissa Bravo to upload your pesticide license and photo i.d. at 856-340-6582. This meeting counts as an ‘in person’ meeting as long as you stay on camera. If you cannot stay on camera the entire time, no credits will be awarded.
NJ Applicators remember, attendees of online courses can earn 25% of their credits for each category from online sources. Only those whose 5-year recertification period is ending 10/31/2022 are eligible to earn 100% of their credits online. Attendees can check their eligibility online at www.pcpnj.org.
