Pests, Fungi, and Diseases Program
In the realm of cannabis cultivation, managing pests, fungi, and diseases is paramount for maintaining healthy plants and ensuring successful yields. Our Pests, Fungi, and Diseases Program provides comprehensive training and certification for growers, focusing on the identification, prevention, treatment, and control of common cannabis afflictions. This program delves into the intricacies of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, emphasizing the importance of monitoring, identifying, assessing, implementing, and evaluating pest management techniques.
Cannabis plants are susceptible to a variety of pests and pathogens, including but not limited to gray mold, powdery mildew, aphids, spider mites, and russet mites. Each pest presents unique challenges and requires specific management strategies to mitigate damage and prevent outbreaks. Our program covers these pests extensively, offering insights into their lifecycle, favored conditions, and the most effective countermeasures.
A cornerstone of the training integrates multiple strategies to manage pest populations effectively. This includes setting action thresholds, comprehensive monitoring and identification of pests, and employing preventive measures. Prevention is a critical aspect, encompassing climate management, sanitation, and the use of preventative treatments like foliar sprays and soil amendments.
Climate management plays a pivotal role in pest prevention, focusing on controlling environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation to create conditions unfavorable for pests. Sanitation measures, including the inspection and quarantine of new plants and the cleanliness of the grow area, are also emphasized to prevent the introduction and spread of pests.
The program also explores the various methodologies for pest control, starting with cultural control strategies that involve modifying the growing environment to deter pests. Physical control methods, such as the use of traps and barriers, and biological controls, which introduce beneficial organisms to combat pests, are also covered. Chemical controls are considered a last resort, with a focus on less risky, targeted treatments.
Through this program, participants will gain a deep understanding of the factors that contribute to pest, fungus, and disease prevalence in cannabis cultivation. They will learn to implement effective strategies that are sustainable and minimize the use of harmful chemicals, ensuring the health of their plants and the safety of the end product. Our training is designed to empower growers with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage pest and disease threats proactively, ensuring the vitality and productivity of their cannabis crops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer a free trial of your training?
How do I log in to access my training?
Are you an accredited education provider?
Yes! Yet… it VARIES so much. For example, we’re accredited by Alaska’s Marijuana Control Board to provide their “Marijuana Handler Permit,” Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to provide their required “Responsible Vendor” compliance training, and others… see our “About Us” (click here) page for accreditations and memberships.
And 99% of our training applies to ANY country or jurisdiction (ex. Canada, Europe Australia, etc.) since our team publishes all our education “agnostically” (or “white-labeled”) so our eLearning solutions really apply to anyone that needs cannabis education… you must understand “English” (our “native language”) that’s really the only criterion to get started.
Our team is always creating new accredited curricula with our Subject Matter Experts who are industry professionals in their respective fields of study. The industry is still developing and there is no universal accreditation (ex. Department of Education, etc.), but we expect to see this change in the NEAR future and realize the vital role that accreditation plays.
Do you offer team training for my business?
How will your industry training help me?
- If you’re a “cannabis lover,“ this training will set you apart from others who merely have read information online or have no cannabis knowledge, it is specialized training that you want today and lovingly seek to learn more about cannabis.
- If you’re an industry professional, we can help set you apart from your peers and make you more valuable to your company. This is the surest way to get a raise or promotion that you likely already deserve (but don’t have a tangible reason to ask).
- If you provide ancillary services, our eLearning solutions are a tangible way to show that you understand and know the industry, which helps you attract better, higher-paying clients to bolster your revenue and make a “bottom-line” impact.
- If you’re a manager or business owner, this training is a great way to learn on-demand for yourself. We are your “Headquarters” (click here) and a great way to train team members so they’re up to speed on the latest trends and best practices.
Is it legal for me to take your training?
Do you meet legal accessibility requirements?
- United States: “American Disability Act” (Section 508) is required so that information and technology are accessible for anyone with disabilities.
- Canada: “Accessible Canada Act” aims to benefit all citizens, especially those individuals with disabilities, by helping to create barrier-free accessibility.
- Europe (EU): “European Accessibility Act” used by EU governments and universities, aims to improve cannabis trade and remove country-specific rules.
- Australia: “Disability Discrimination Act” applies to organizations developing online resources so there is no discrimination against people with disabilities.
- WCAG 2.0: Used when deciding how to present content for the best web accessibility, these guidelines are always followed when we develop any media.
- ATAG 2.0: Guidelines to construct content (as well as consuming online content) and help to improve the accessibility of the media that our team produces.
- ARIA 1.0: As many parts of the user interface are dynamic and interactive, we follow these recommendations to utilize assistive technologies (ex. screen-readers).
What is your online training format like?
How long do I have access to my training?
How difficult are the training assessments?
If I fail, am I allowed to re-take the assessment?
Am I guaranteed to get a certificate of completion?
How can someone verify my training certificate(s)?
Easily! You or anyone can verify the authenticity of your certificate by going to the “Verify Certificate” tool (click here) using the unique code found on your certificate. Your certificates are assigned a unique code to VERIFY it in our Learning Management System (LMS) that way anyone can validate it by entering the custom code displayed to confirm its authenticity.
Remember, that you can always access your issued certificate(s) from your account in our LMS, under the “More” section (click here) in your profile. It is possible that you may complete several pieces of training – each with their OWN certificate – it would be time-consuming to visit every course to download all your certificates that have been issued.
To avoid this, on your profile, you can view all the certificates that have been issued to you. Go to your profile page under “Miscellaneous” and click on “My Certificates” which will take you to your ISSUED certificates and you can simply download them all at one (1) time.
