An online, self-paced course is being offered by the Michigan State University Extension field crops team, providing farmers with an opportunity to earn restricted use pesticide (RUP) credits while reviewing integrated pest management (IPM) for the most common pest problems. In December 2024, Michigan State University specialists provided an update for growers and agribusiness on weeds, insects, disease and nematodes during our Crop and Pest Management Update Meeting. We have now recorded those sessions and made them available, for free, with 4 credits available for Commercial CORE, Private CORE, 1A or 1B.

The recordings have been made available through the Desire-to-Learn (D2L) platform as a course, along with supplemental handouts and videos. This course will run from March to November 2025.
