As the term implies, a webinar is a seminar…presented over the web! Everyone gets to sit in the comfort of their own offices at their computers, connected on the web. As the webinar begins, everyone’s monitor displays the speaker’s screen, controlled by the speaker. Attendees also dial into a telephone conference line to hear the presenter speak. You attend a seminar that otherwise would require everyone to be in the same room. It’s pretty cool. Also, attendees can type questions back to the speaker, who will remain online after the webinar to respond.

Biological Insect and Mite Control
A mix of what is old and what is new has led to many growers taking another look at biological means of insect and mite control. Old techniques such as trap crops and banker plants have been refined with encouraging results. New benefical organisms such as the predacious mite Amblyseius swirskii have helped to fill in gaps for key pests. Pesticides that are "friendly" towards benefical organisms have been introduced adding another tool. Some of the more effective biorational pesticides will be coverd in this session.
If you sign up for this webinar after 3:00pm on Dec. 2nd,
you will only be able to view the recorded version.
