This course is designed to increase the knowledge and understanding of practical field scouting techniques in orchards for Spanish speaking orchardists who would act as first line of defense in recognizing pest and disease pressure.

The class will be both in the class room and in the field. It will focus on introduction to the main orchard pests and disease, identification and recognizing damage, understanding the biology, scouting and monitoring, control options, integrated pest management, and beneficial insects.

There will be 4 pesticide credits available each day in both Oregon and Washington, 8 credits for both classes (pending).
