(Media-Newswire.com) - STERLING CITY - The Texas AgriLife Extension Service office in Sterling County will conduct the Sterling County Brush and Ecology Program beginning 6 p.m. on June 24 in the Sterling County Community Center in Sterling City.
The host for the free event is the Sterling County Range and Livestock Committee.
One Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education unit in the laws and regulations category will be offered for attendees.
“We’ll be targeting our three main noxious plant species: mesquite, cedar and pricklypear,” said Chad Coburn, AgriLife Extension agent in Sterling County. “But rather than just discuss what herbicide to use and how much is needed to control a particular species, we will go more in-depth and talk about how each grows and reproduces. We’ll also show how knowing that information can be used to the best advantage when it comes to controlling the plant during its most vulnerable stage.”
Dr. Allan McGinty, AgriLife Extension range specialist at San Angelo, will be the featured speaker.
Coburn said producers are encouraged to bring plant specimens to the program for identification.
For more information call Coburn at 325-378-3181.
