What is the purpose of recertification?
Topics such as Integrated Pest Management, Pesticide Application are constantly refined as revised as we learn more about proper control of pests in home gardens. In addition, the identity of particular pests within gardens is not constant over time. Some years, gardeners will see more of one particular pest, and none of a pest that gave them serious problems just a few years ago. Keeping on top of the latest research findings is essential to maintain the ability of OSU Master Gardeners to deliver unbiased, research based information to the general public. Thus, recertification keeps us current and informed.
