UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Extension is offering its “Agronomic Pesticide Update” for those seeking pesticide recertification credits. The drive-in style meeting will be held at the Lebanon Valley Exposition Center and Fairgrounds parking lot, 2120 Cornwall Rd., Lebanon, from 7-9 p.m., Dec.16.
“This event is a way to provide a safe environment for those growers who need pesticide recertification credits and may live in rural areas with limited internet access, or for those who are not comfortable with online learning,” said senior extension educator Del Voight.
“Registrants will be able to park their vehicles and listen to our presenters on their FM receiver/radio as we project the presentation on the dairy barn wall.”
Two core and two category (PC, 01, 18) credits will be given to those in attendance. Upon conclusion of the event, each participant’s Pennsylvania pesticide license will be scanned to ensure credits are received.
Topics include a discussion led by Dwight Lingenfelter, extension weed specialist, on “What’s New in 2020 Herbicides” as well as specific herbicide programs designed for palmer control in corn and soybean. Additionally, a pesticide safety update and proper pesticide mixing order will be covered.
Cost of the event is $10, and participants must register by Dec. 9. For more information and to register, visit https://extension.psu.edu/agronomic-pesticide-update or call 877-345-0691.
