MSU provides online greenhouse courses, sign up ends Jan. 1

Michigan State University is offering online greenhouse training courses and courses for the plant health professional certificate program. Sign up for all courses ends Jan. 1, 2025.

Greenhouse growers new to the industry or those interested in refreshing their knowledge can sign up for four self-paced courses in the Michigan State University Extension’s Online College of Knowledge greenhouse series:

• Abiotic Disorders of Greenhouse Crops
• Greenhouse and Horticultural Lightin
• Biological Control for Greenhouse Growers
• Floriculture Root Zone Management

These four courses are pre-recorded and registrants have three months to complete them: Dec. 1, 2024, through March 15, 2025. Students in the course will take a pre-test and final exam to gauge their learning on the topics, and can also complete the optional self-assessment quizzes throughout the course.

Get all the details for these four sessions here.

Also, growers can earn a plant health professional certificate by taking greenhouse online courses administered through Michigan State University Extension and University of Florida.
