Register to attend DPIRD's 2019 crop disease and insect identification workshop
Having confidence in the identification of diseases and insects is a vital step towards successful and sustainable crop protection.
A three day disease and insect identification course is being held by DPIRD at the South Perth office on Monday 26 August to Wednesday 28 August 2019.
The course is designed mainly for agronomists, growers and other grains industry representatives to improve disease and insect identification skills relevant to broadacre crop production in WA.
The course has received high acclaim from previous participants because of the practical and 'hands on' training approach, professional and experienced presenters and the valuable take home resource materials.
Disease identification will be taught on Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 August, followed by insect identification and integrated management on Wednesday 28 August.
Registration can be for either or both components.
The costs of the course have been kept low ($150 per day or $300 for the three days) with funding assistance from GRDC. This includes a course reference book and catering for each day.
Numbers are limited for the training days and enrolments close on Friday 2 August 2019.
