Managing Turfgrass and Landscape Weeds

Last Held: March 27-28, 2018
9:00am - 3:30pm (Check-in time: 8:30am)

Next offering tentatively planned for March 2019. Registration will open when course date is confirmed.

Landscape managers spend more time and money controlling weeds than insects and diseases, so a clear understanding of weed biology and management strategies is important for successful and profitable landscape businesses.

Led by Scott Guiser (retired Extension Specialist from Penn State University), this popular two-day class will cover:

• Hands-on weed identification exercises;
• Chemical and non-chemical controls;
• Weed life cycles;
• Ecology;
• Proper use of mulches; and
• Other aspects of a modern weed control program

You'll even go outside and learn an easy way to calibrate a backpack sprayer, weather permitting.

The March 27-28, 2018 offering of this course was approved for the following credits. We will reapply for similar credits the next time the course runs, but we cannot guarantee credit approval for future offerings.

NOTE: Individuals who wish to receive pesticide recertification credits at any of our courses will need to know their applicator license number. Please bring your pesticide license with you to class.
