Welcome to IPM Experience House

September 20, 2021 by janet.hurley

I know it’s been a while since we have posted anything, but we have been busy.  Our Texas A&M AgriLife Research & Extension Center is about to have another building renovated, which meant moving.  That move allowed for an expansion of the IPM Experience House to add an apartment for additional training opportunities.

Be on the lookout for classes later this fall.  Our first public event is the Texas A&M AgriLife turfgrass field day set Oct. 6, this will have a ton of information for those of you who work in the lawn and landscape business as well as those in turfgrass management.

In the meantime, check out this slideshow on our preparations for an event for pest management professionals coming to learn about rodent sensing systems by Corteva.
