Five new courses on herbicide resistance are now available online through the PMEP Distance Learning Center. Each course qualifies for New York pesticide applicator recertification credits. There is a small fee to take each course.
The online courses include: 1) Current Status of Herbicide Resistance in Weeds (0.5 credits), 2) How Herbicides Work (1.0 credits), 3) What is Herbicide Resistance(1.0 credits), 3) Scouting After a Herbicide Application(1.0 credits), 4) Confirming Herbicide Resistance (1.0 credits) and 5) Principles of Managing Herbicide Resistance(1.0 credits).
The online courses were developed by Mary McKellar and Russ Hahn in cooperation with Ron Gardner from lesson modules (Herbicide Resistant Weeds) originally created by the Weed Science Society of America. The development of the online courses was supported through funding from the NYS IPM Program.
