| Date & Time |
February 26, 2019
9:00am - 3:30pm (Check-in time: 8:30am) |
| Description |
Controlling insects is a lot more complicated than just applying pesticide
controls. To effectively manage insects, you must:
- Identify the insect
- Understand its life cycle
- Distinguish between beneficial and harmful insects
- Apply the right control at the right time
This one-day, hands-on class covers all four of these topics with practical tips
and quick identification clues. This course is taught by Dr. Paula Shrewsbury,
Extension Specialist, University of Maryland. She will bring a truck full of specimens to view and discuss.
