PASTURE PESTS PROGRAM TUESDAY IN BRENHAM

  

An educational seminar on pasture pests is set for Tuesday, May 29^th at the Washington County fairgrounds sales facility.

The program, set to begin at 5:30, will address pasture pest management and control.

Pasture pests are a common concern in south central Texas. The economic impacts can be significant if insects that adversely impact forage growth and performance go unnoticed and are left unmanaged.

Pre-registration is $10 per person and is required by this Tuesday (May 22) at the Extension Office on East Blue Bell Road. Registration at the event will be $20 per person.

Registration will include the meal, refreshments, and program materials. Two continuing education units (1 general, 1 integrated pest management) will be offered to all licensed applicators. The Washington County Farm Bureau is program sponsor for the evening.
