Pest Management of Landscape Turf

Date

February 5, 2009
9:00am-3:30pm

Description

Troubleshooting pest problems is a skill customers expect (and demand) from landscape professionals and public grounds managers. Weeds, diseases and insects are ready to victimize weak turf and create an eyesore. In this one-day class, you will learn valuable clues to effectively diagnose and treat insect, disease, and weed problems in turf. Instructor Rich Buckley makes his class both fun and ruthlessly practical.
