We were onsite this week in Anaheim, CA at the 50th California Association of Pest Control Advisers (CAPCA) Agri-Expo and Conference. Our California TELONE™ Specialist, Brian Hegland, was there answering PCA and grower questions about nematode management solutions with TELONE™. "The mission of CAPCA is to facilitate the success of the PCA and to represent its 3000 members who provide pest management consultation for the production of food, fiber and ornamental industries of California. Pest Control Advisers (PCAs) are licensed professional production consultants who serve California agriculture and horticulture producers. PCAs specialize in pest management, but they are also an important resource to producers in a wide range of production concerns related to plant health. A PCA is licensed by the State of California to engage in the following activities: -Provide pest management recommendations, which must be in writing. -Hold self as an authority on any agricultural use. -Solicit sales of products or services for agricultural use" We are proud to support this CAPCA event and the ongoing educational opportunities it provides CA Pest Control Advisors.
