Lesson 3 – Managing Pests with Bio-Pesticides

Presenters: Matt Grieshop, Cal Poly SLO & Martin Guerna, National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT)

Start Time is 11:00 AM Pacific Time

Once you RSVP, a Zoom link will arrive in the confirmation email.

Upon successfully completing this lesson, participants will be able to:

• Explain the difference between bio-pesticides that work broadly and have a lot of collateral damage to beneficial insects versus materials that work narrowly and do less damage to beneficials.
• Describe the importance of aligning the pest's correct life stage with the timing, location, and method of pesticide applications.
• Use the Sustainable Pest and Weed Database.

Continued Education Credits have been requested and are expected to be approved from California Department of Pesticide Regulation and American Society of Agronomy.
