Bulldogs and Gators tend to tangle on the football field. But the
universities of Georgia and Florida have been teaming up for
years to provide one-day updates for nursery, greenhouse and
landscape professionals.
The 2004 Green Industry Updates will be Oct. 12 in Kingsland,
Ga., Oct. 13 in Quincy, Fla., and Oct. 14 in Cairo, Ga.
Participants will learn about new technologies, products and
environmental issues while earning pesticide recertification
credits.
The Oct. 12 and 13 updates are mainly for landscape pros. They
offer such topics as troubleshooting tree problems, managing
citrus in urban settings, pest-resistant plants and seasonal
color beds.
The Oct. 14 session is mostly for nursery and greenhouse
professionals. It will cover new weed control methods and
products, nursery runoff management and pest-scouting techniques.
Each all-day program combines classroom lectures with outdoor,
hands-on activities. Georgia participants earn 3 hours of
pesticide recertification credit at the Kingsland program and 4
hours at Quincy or Cairo. Fees are $40 for each or $45 after Oct.
1.
