What Are the UC Ag Experts Talking About?

What is involved in the webinars?

A series of usually 1-hour long webinars, designed for growers and pest management professionals, highlighting various pest management and horticultural topics for crops grown in California. 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 Q&A during and/or after the presentation.

What are the topics, and how do I register?

Are there Continuing Education units?

When the subject discusses pest or disease management, continuing education units (CEU) will be requested from DPR (1 unit per session) and when relevant also Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) and International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) continuing education units. To qualify for the CEU make sure to

• register separately with your own email address and log in from your own device
• participate in the entire hour session
• complete and pass a final test with 70% or higher; if not passed, the test can be retaken

If you are connecting by smartphone and need CEUs, be sure that you are using the zoom app (Android, iPhone) so that you have access to the presentation and we can track your presence in the webinar.

Certificates of completion will be emailed within one week to those who meet those requirements above.

The webinars are recorded and linked from this website for future study. However, continuing education units are awarded only to the participants who attend the live version of the webinar.
