The Pend Oreille County Noxious Weed Board’s 2nd annual Calibration Workshop will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday April 12, 2024.
With a focus on herbicide application, this workshop will cover tank mix procedures, importance of water testing, proper application, spray nozzles, spray pattern, cleaning equipment, and more, with a live demo of backpack sprayer calibration. The workshop generally lasts one hour with time for questions after the event.
We encourage anyone who will be spraying their own property this year to attend! The Calibration Workshop is an outdoor, hands-on event dependent upon good weather. If needed, please bring your own chair. The Workshop is held at the County garage bays behind the building at the corner of N Calispel Ave/S Calispel Ave and 1st Street.
