May 8, 2020Michigan State University schedules Pre-Bloom Blueberry Webinar for May 12
Michigan State University Extension and the MSUE Small Fruit Team are hosting a webinar with updates on issues related to the early portion of the blueberry season.
This webinar will deliver information on research and Extension subjects of interest for Michigan’s small fruit industry during the 2020 blueberry pre-bloom and bloom period. The webinar will take place on Tuesday May 12, 2020 from 1-4:30 p.m.
We are using this new format to deliver our extension programs to comply with restrictions on personal contact and large meetings. We will continue providing assistance and educational programs needed by our small fruit growers under this new format for the remaining of the crop season.
Growers participating in this webinar will be awarded three RUP for the renewal of the Private Pesticide Applicator license.
