The Montana State University Extension Pesticide Education Program is offering a pest management tour for pesticide applicators at eight locations across southwest Montana from Oct. 15 to 18.
In order, the tour will visit Dillon, Deer Lodge, Helena, Townsend, Whitehall, Ennis, Clyde Park and Bozeman. At each stop, speakers will present on a variety of topics, including forage insect pests, weed management, bird and ground squirrel management, pesticide performance and water quality, biological control of weeds, annual grass identification and management and rangeland weed management. Presentations will vary by location.
A detailed program agenda is available online at montana.edu/extension/pesticides/events/pmt.html. Information is also available from local MSU Extension offices. For other questions, contact Cecil Tharp at 406-994-5067 or [email protected].
