The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service-Travis Co will hold a Grounds Maintenance Workshop on Oct 23, 2015. This conference is in response to our ongoing critical water issues. The general public can attend but the materials presented will be for turf professionals such as those working with municipalities, including parks departments; golf courses; and large and commercial landscape maintenance firms.
The goal of the workshop is to share best practices for water conservation; pesticides and protective equipment; fertilization and weed & disease management in turfgrass. Three Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) pesticide credits are available to attendees.
