    Improve your prevention and management of diseases in nurseries and greenhouses by registering for
    Disease Management, part of the award-winning Greenhouse Online Training program offered by the
    University of Florida IFAS Extension. This course is intermediate level and designed for people with some
    experience or entry university level, who are in production, technical, or sales role for greenhouse and nursery crops. Topics covered include how to differentiate between a disease and other issues, disease prevention tips, organic and conventional disease management options, and how to safely apply and handle fungicides.

    The course is offered in English and Spanish. Rated 4.2 out of 5 by grower participants, with over 80%
    graduation rate last year! Over 480 growers have successfully taken this course.

    Dr. Carrie Harmon, Director of the UF/IFAS Plant Diagnostic Center in Gainesville, FL and Co-Director of the National Plant Diagnostic Network, teaches the course. Growers have described the training as “detailed but digestible, with an emphasis on practical, field-applicable knowledge”, and that the course material “is very dynamic, which makes it easy to understand and apply to our day-to-day work in the greenhouse.”

    The course runs from September 11 to October 6, 2023. The cost is $US265 per participant, with a 20%
    discount if you register 5 or more. All course material is completely online and available at any time of the day, and includes pre-recorded videos, an interactive discussion board with PhD professors, and quizzes. Two new modules are activated each week during the course, for a total of 8 learning modules. Instruction is at your own pace and time within the 4 weeks of the course, with a typical time commitment of about 6 hours per week.
