Apple Exports to Taiwan: Orchard & Bin Sampling Protocols

Training is mandatory for people that do not have a Pest Consultant's license or
Commercial Applicator's license. Without those licenses people must attend
training to perform orchard or field bin sampling. Those who attended training last summer (2007) do not have to attend, but refresher attendance is strongly advised by NHC and USDA/APHIS. Certified cull cutters may perform field bin sampling if informed of bin sampling protocols. Official forms must be used. You can download them from here.

 

Sessions are scheduled for late July to early August. Classes are FREE, but pre-registration is advised due to space limitations. Please send a fax (509) 662-8714 or an email to Wendy Jones, wendyej@wsu.edu at least 2 days prior to your desired session date. For more information call (509) 663-8181 or (509) 679-3867. Please include company or facility name, number of participants, which session, and if you will have an interpreter or require one, along with YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION in case of changes.

Orchard sampling training does not replace cull cutter certification.
