More About the Annual Conference
As always, we offered continuing education units (CEUs) for certified and licensed pesticide applicators to put towards the renewal of their applicator certifications of licenses.
A few of the confirmed topics were:
- Noxious and Invasive Weeds and their Native Lookalikes
- Reseeding after Invasive Annual Grass Control
- Invasive Insects Found in Nevada
- Available Biocontrols and Their Effects on Targeted Species
- Reaching Out and Partnering with Native American Tribes in Addressing Invasives and Ecosystem Restoration
In addition to offering CEUs, the Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) provided both the private (ranchers, farmers, general public) and non-private (city, county, state, and federal government) applicator’s tests following the Invasive Species Conference.
