New CourseHealthy plants have a greater ability to resist soil pathogens and insect damage. This course details how organic acids can enhance plant health. It is accredited for 1 unit in nutrients for CCAs and .5 hours for Arizona licensees. Credit is pending at California Department of Pesticide Regulation
New CourseAmerican agriculture exports 20 to 30 percent of its production annually. For specific commodities, the percentage is much higher. When recommending and applying pest management products for crops, license Pest Control Advisers (PCAs) and applicators and farmers must be aware of which products applied are in compliance with Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) established by foreign customers. This CE course details the MRL issue and why compliance is critical to marketing into world trade.
