Pesticide Recertification Credits
Keeping up-to-date with pesticide recertification is a fact of life for the greenhouse industry. At the 2010 Northeast Greenhouse Conference and Expo, growers will have ample opportunity to learn valuable new information on all aspects of pest and disease management while earning the pesticide credits they need for recertification.
A total of 12 one-hour presentations (credits vary by state) will be offered for the six New England states plus New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Please check the schedule on the program brochure, as some of the presentations are at the same time.
