Maine Tree Fruit Webinars

This page lists links to recordings of Maine Tree Fruit Webinars. It also includes links to some free tree fruit webinars from states in the region.

For the March 18, March 25, and April 1 2020 Maine webinars, there is a link to download a 10-question quiz to receive two pesticide applicator recertification credits for each webinar. Email or U.S. postal address to submit the completed quiz is shown on the first page of each quiz.

If your pesticide applicator license is with another state and your state has pesticide applicator recertification credit reciprocity with Maine (which includes all the New England states), sending a quiz with a passing score (8 out of 10 answers correct) to the Maine Board of Pesticides Control (BPC) will result in the BPC notifying your state licensing agency that you earned two credits.
