[Uaturfinfo] Annual Short Course and other education opportunities

[Umeda, Kai - (umedak)]

The 21st Annual Short Course will present “Utility of new insecticide modes of action in crops and turf & ornamentals: Preserving them for the long term” on Thursday, August 27 at the Maricopa County Cooperative Extension office in Phoenix. Common insecticide chemistries are used across various commodities and landscapes that are in close proximity or adjacent and insect pests in crops or landscapes are susceptible to these products.  The presentations will describe strategies to ensure continued efficacy and prevent development of insecticide resistance as well as maintaining pollinator safety.
5 CEU’s have been granted by the AZ Dept of Ag and OPM
