The Agbiz Grain Fumigation Working Group is planning a workshop to address pressing concerns regarding regulations and the quality of training for fumigators. These concerns affect fumigation in the grain handling and storage environments. The workshop will be held on 5 March 2024 at Nampo Park in Bothaville, and will include presentations by Dr Gerhard Verdoorn of the Griffon Poison Information Centre and CropLife SA, and Leonard Henning, member of the South African Pest Control Association Board.
Dr Verdoorn will present his views on the range of products available for fumigation, the classification of hazards and risks associated with classes of different fumigants. Henning will present his views on a renewed competence framework for pest control operators, industry self-regulation and CPD. Contact annelien@agbizgrain.co.za for more information. – Agbiz Grain
