Advanced Training: Introduction to Plant Health Care & Integrated Pest Management

Instructor: Dr. Fredric Miller
CEU’s: 8
Class Limit: 20

Intro to Plant Health Care is a module of the Advanced Training Pest Diagnosis and management domain and it will provide an in-depth study of modern plant health care and integrated pest management. It is guided by the principal that the best way to manage insect and disease problems (pests) is a mixture of cultural, biological, chemical, mechanical, and sometimes regulatory means. The goal is to reduce pest populations or maintain them at a point where they cause minimal damage. It is an attempt to develop a more holistic approach, one that focuses on total plant health care and less on pest management.
