This course covers a wide range of options to effectively control weeds in cotton and reduce the risk of weed resistance management. It is accredited for hours/units for licensed/accredited applicators in 7 U.S. Cotton Belt states (Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, South Carolina an d Tennessee. CCA credit is pending).
Keeping crop protection chemicals on the crop for which they are intended has been a cornerstone of farming not only to protect neighboring crops, but to not waste money allowing products to drift off the intended target. This accredited online continuing education course covers the critical elements of spray drift management.
