Argentine Ant Management in Citrus (July 8, 2020)

Dr. Mark Hoddle will talk about how to monitor and manage Argentine ant in citrus orchards with liquid baiting systems and discuss why ant management has such strong benefits for the suppression of sap-sucking pests by natural enemies. This information is critical for PCAs and growers to better understand why managing Argentine ant is important.

One DPR CE unit (other) and one CCA CE unit (IPM) are pending.

What Are the UC Ag Experts Talking About?

What is involved in the webinars?

A series of 1-hour webinars, designed for growers and pest management professionals, highlighting various pest management and horticultural topics for citrus, avocados, and other subtropical crops. Master Gardeners can benefit from participating, but the pest management methods presented, especially the pesticides, are not to be followed without a clear understanding of their legal use by homeowners.

During each session, a UC Expert on the subject makes a presentation and entertains write-in questions via chat during and/or after the presentation. As we develop this program, we may expand to other crops. Both DPR CE units are available, as are CDFA-CCA units
