About
This course is split into three modules that cover the essential knowledge required to understand the main pests, how beneficial nematodes work and their biology, plus how best to apply them in order to maximise their effectiveness. For example, understanding pest lifecycles, ground temperature and soil moisture will contribute to making any control a targeted and successful one, rather than ‘hit and miss’ – saving time and money.
The finer details
There is a short quiz at the end to test your knowledge and a certificate.
