COLLEGE STATION – The “Unintended Consequences of Brush Management” will be the topic of the Aug. 6 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.
The presenter for this webinar is Dr. Wayne Hanselka, AgriLife Extension range specialist emeritus in Corpus Christi.
“Manipulation of vegetation throughout history has had mixed results because of lack of biological and ecological information, narrow goals, a lack of ecosystem perspective and limited technologies,” Hanselka said. “As a result, there are numerous examples of unintended consequences when viewed historically.”
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.
