About The Hybrid Workshop
Soil fumigants are pesticides that form a gas when applied to soil to control pests that live in the soil and disrupt plant growth and crop production. Used on many high-value crops, soil fumigants control a wide range of pests, including nematodes, fungi, bacteria, insects, and weeds. This course reviews how soil fumigants work, their hazards, the roles of applicators and handlers, strategies to protect handlers and bystanders, emergency preparedness and response, favorable application conditions, fumigation management plans, and buffer zones.
Online participants may ask questions verbally or by using the Zoom Q&A feature. Participants should ensure Zoom is updated to the most recent version available for their operating system prior to the meeting. Attendance for the full hour is required to receive both credits. Individuals seeking credits in counties surrounding Adams County are encouraged to attend in person to engage directly with Dr. Peter, associate research professor of tree fruit pathology, Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology, Penn State.
