COLLEGE STATION – “Do-It-Yourself Brush Control Equipment” will be the topic of the Dec. 3 natural resources webinar by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service ecosystem science and management unit.
The webinar is a part of the Texas Range Webinar Series scheduled the first Thursday of each month from noon to 1 p.m., said Pete Flores, webinar coordinator in Corpus Christi.
This month’s presenter is Dr. Barron Rector, AgriLife Extension range specialist in the ecosystem science and management department in College Station.
“During this webinar you can learn how to put together your own brush control equipment that is ideal for your situation,” Rector said. “We will cover sprayer set-ups, nozzle selection, calibration and learning to choose the right tool for the job.”
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 can earn one integrated pest management unit from this webinar.
