Description:
In this course, you will learn how to use integrated pest management (IPM) methods to control poultry flies in the most effective way with the least impact to animals, people, and the environment. Through educational videos, check your learning questions, and section quizzes, you will learn to identify the pest flies in your poultry facilities, understand their lifecycles, and understand the role lifecycles play in control methods. You will learn how to monitor fly populations and set action thresholds, and how to select control methods for your facility. As you advance through the course, you can build your IPM plan with this information. This course has 10 short section quizzes. If you are taking this course for Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) credits, you need to achieve a score of 80% on the quizzes to pass the course, and receive a certificate of completion and PDA credits.
