Plant Health - Another 20hr Bite Sized Learning Experience
Announcement posted by ACS Distance Education 06 Jun 2016
Finish this course in a weekend or take a year- it’s up to you.
It always seems that the more work you do in a garden, the more pest and disease problems seem to appear. For this reason, the keen home gardener and the professional landscaper need to be aware about what pests and diseases they may come in contact with, and how to control them.
This Study Guide will help in the identification of these problems. Without correct identification, it would be very difficult to suggest a suitable method of control. For example, a hole in a leaf may indicate damage by a pathogen such as a fungus, bacterium, or virus, or it could be caused by an insect. If you thought the problem was caused by an insect and sprayed it with an insecticide, but it was actually caused by a virus, then the spray is totally wasted.
This mini course will help the home gardener and those working in horticulture to identify and control a range of the most common pests and diseases of plants. Find out more or get it here.
