Stewardship is always top of mind for the Teleos team. As part of our ongoing stewardship efforts, our TELONE™ Specialists host stewardship training meetings across the country. For the past two summers, our PNW TELONE™ Specialist, Robin Matson, has hosted two large stewardship meetings in Moses Lake and Kennewick, Washington.
Robin’s stewardship meetings are designed to give applicators an overview of fumigation, how to safely handle and apply product, appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE), information on application inspections, licensing & compliance, first aid, and more!
