Managing Turfgrass and Landscape Weeds

March 15-16, 2017
9:00am - 3:30pm (Check-in time: 8:30am)

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.

This landscape and turfgrass management training course will cover:

• Chemical controls
• Control strategies for your weed problems
• Weed life cycles
• Ecology
• Proper use of mulches

Taught by Scott Guiser, Extension Educator, Penn State University, this two-day turf management class will explain the aspects of a comprehensive weed control program. Learn and practice weed identification techniques.
