Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Miller Research will not be holding its annual Potato Pest Management Meeting.
Instead, we will be having four 1-hour virtual seminars where we will discuss four different topics related to potato disease management.
One CCA (integrated pest management) credit and one ISDA pesticide recertification credit has been awarded for each session.
You will be required to answer some participation questions in order to get the ISDA credit. Each session will run from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm. Registration is free.
Meetings will be held by Zoom and registration is required separately for each session. To register for each session, click on the link. You will be taken to a page where you need to enter your name and email address.
After successfully registering, you will receive a confirmation email that contains the link to log into the session.
