Plants, Pests and Pathogens is a continuing education webinar series for Extension professionals and volunteers hosted by the NC State Extension Plant Disease and Insect Clinic and NC State Extension Master Gardener℠ program, and sponsored by the Departments of Entomology & Plant Pathology and Horticultural Science.
The webinars equip Extension Master Gardener volunteers and agents with knowledge and skills so they may better respond to home gardening questions and address the sustainable gardening education needs of North Carolinians. Extension professionals and volunteers can access the schedule, login information, and recordings on the password-protected EMG Intranet.Index of Recordings
Webinar recordings available to the public are posted below and may also be accessed from the Plants, Pests and Pathogens YouTube Playlist.
