Description

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 profi table landscape businesses. This two-day class will discuss: chemical controls; control strategies for your weed problems; and alternative control strategies. This course also includes hands-on weed identification exercises, weed life cycles, ecology, proper use of mulches and other aspects of a comprehensive weed control program. This course is taught by Scott Guiser, Extension Specialist, University of Pennsylvania.
