Check out this NEW, three-hour program, Soil Health, Soil Tests & Spray Water, which will combine instruction, field examples, a panel discussion, audience questions, and a knowledge check. Attend the session and earn 3 CEU credits through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension.
The proposed coursework covers:
- Soil health: How soil structure, chemistry, and biology affect water movement, nutrient cycling, and root growth.
- Soil testing: Representative sampling and practical interpretation of pH, nutrients, and cation exchange capacity.
- Spray-water quality: How pH, hardness, alkalinity, and sediment can affect mixing and application decisions, with pesticide labels guiding those decisions.
