Managing Insect Pests of Ornamental Plants

March 9, 2017
9:00am - 3:30pm (Check-in time: 8:30am)

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.
