COLLEGE STATION – How management practices can make a difference in weed control will be the topic of a Feb. 6 webinar conducted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
Dr. Barron Rector, AgriLife Extension range specialist, College Station, will present “The Truth About Weeds.” Rector will cover management practices that can positively or negatively affect weed production and resources useful in controlling weed problems.
This webinar is part of the Texas Range Webinar Series conducted monthly by AgriLife Extension’s ecosystem science and management unit. Each webinar is scheduled from noon to 1 p.m., according to Pete Flores, webinar coordinator in College Station.
Flores said the program has switched Webinar software, so those planning to attend should go to http://bit.ly/LIzkB1 to configure their computer before Feb. 6.
Participants seeking Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education units must pay a $10 fee on the website. For all others, there is no fee, Flores said. Licensed agricultural private pesticide applicators participating in this webinar can earn one integrated pest management unit.
This webinar and others in the series can be accessed at http://naturalresourcewebinars.tamu.edu .
Continuing education units for archived webinars will be available for only one month following the live version of the webinar. After the month has passed, the webinar will still be available to watch, but participants will not be able to register for or receive credits.
