Disease Management in Greenhouse & Nursery Production
Feb 26, 2026 at 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Online via Zoom
Effective disease management in greenhouse and nursery production begins long before fungicides are applied. This webinar focuses on how environmental conditions, sanitation practices, and cultural decisions influence disease development and spread in controlled production systems. Participants will learn to recognize early disease symptoms, identify common production-related risk factors, and understand how moisture, airflow, temperature, and plant density contribute to outbreaks. The session will also cover strategic fungicide selection, proper application timing, and resistance management, emphasizing decision-making rather than calendar-based spraying. Practical prevention strategies, including sanitation protocols and production adjustments, will be discussed to help reduce disease pressure and improve overall crop health. This webinar is designed for growers, production managers, and consultants seeking proactive, integrated approaches to disease management.

Fundamentals of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is more than reducing pesticide use—it is a systematic decision-making process that improves pest control outcomes while minimizing risk to people, plants, and the environment. This on-demand webinar provides a clear, practical foundation in IPM principles tailored to ornamental landscape, nursery, and greenhouse professionals.
Participants will learn the core components of an effective IPM program, including pest identification, monitoring and scouting techniques, action thresholds, recordkeeping, and selection of appropriate control strategies. Emphasis is placed on prevention-first thinking, integrating cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical tools into a cohesive management plan.
The program explains how to properly diagnose pest problems before treatment, how to evaluate contributing environmental factors, and how to avoid common misapplications that lead to resistance, control failures, and unnecessary pesticide use. Real-world examples illustrate how IPM improves efficiency, reduces costs, and strengthens client confidence.
By the end of this course, participants will understand:
The principles and goals of Integrated Pest Management
How to implement systematic scouting and monitoring programs
How to establish and apply action thresholds
How to select control measures within an IPM framework
How proper documentation supports regulatory compliance and long-term success
This course is designed for commercial pesticide applicators, landscape professionals, greenhouse and nursery managers, and others seeking a practical, structured approach to pest management in ornamental systems.

Right of Way Recertification Training
AHJ Horticulture’s Right-of-Way (ROW) Recertification Training is designed for licensed pesticide applicators responsible for vegetation management along roadsides, utilities, railways, pipelines, drainage systems, and other managed corridors.
This on-demand program reinforces practical, field-based decision-making using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles tailored specifically to right-of-way environments. Participants review weed identification and biology, herbicide selection (selective vs. non-selective), contact vs. translocated products, plant growth regulators, and woody plant control methods including foliar, basal bark, hack-and-squirt, and cut stump treatments.
The course also addresses drift management, temperature inversions, environmental movement of herbicides, soil sterilants, aquatic vegetation considerations, erosion concerns, and proper pesticide recordkeeping. Emphasis is placed on safe, effective, and compliant application practices that protect desirable vegetation, water resources, infrastructure, and public safety.

Insecticide Failures - Understanding Insecticide MOAS
Understand insecticide MOAs, resistance development, and how smart rotation improves pest control performance.
Insecticide control failures can result from resistance development, improper product selection, mistimed applications, or environmental influences. This on-demand course provides practical instruction on diagnosing control failures and using insecticide mode-of-action (MOA) knowledge to improve treatment outcomes.
Designed for ornamental landscape and turf applicators, this program explains how repeated use of products with the same mode of action can reduce effectiveness over time. Participants will learn how to interpret IRAC group classifications, develop rotation strategies, and integrate resistance management into their overall pest management program.
Topics covered include:
Common causes of insecticide performance failures
Insecticide mode-of-action classifications and IRAC group numbers
Resistance development and resistance management planning
Proper rotation strategies for single and multiple pest scenarios
Application timing based on insect biology
