Participants will work alongside UGA Extension agents, specialists, and an experienced farmer to build pest identification and management skills. Sessions will include insect identification, plant disease diagnosis and holistic management, and proper calibration and use of backpack sprayers. Emphasis will be placed on accurate pest identification, informed decision-making, and effective application techniques.
