Insights from the Latest Texas A&M Research: Innovations in Harmful Algal Bloom Prevention Webinar
2025-06-17 18:00 - 19:30
Presented by Brittany Chesser
Aquatic Vegetation Management Program Specialist, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
Lead Diagnostic Scientist, TAMU Aquatic Diagnostics Laboratory
Description:
Stay ahead of the curve with this webinar showcasing the latest research from Texas A&M University AquaExtension. Over the past year, we have been conducting small-scale trials on an innovative product designed to prevent harmful algal blooms (HABs). These blooms, that can be caused by blue-green algae (cyanobacteria species) and golden algae, can lead to livestock, companion animals, and/or fish kills, severely impacting the usability of your pond.
In this 1-hour session, we’ll delve into the most recent findings from our research and discuss practical applications for managing and mitigating HABs in your aquatic systems. Learn how the findings from this research can possibly help safeguard your pond and improve its long-term functionality. A 30-minute live Q&A session will follow the presentation, providing an opportunity for personalized guidance and answers to your specific questions. Don’t miss this chance to explore cutting-edge solutions for a critical pond management challenge!
This webinar will offer 1 General CEU for pesticide applicators in Texas who attend the session live.

Pond Management Myth Busting 101: Water Quality Webinar
2025-07-22 18:00 - 19:30
Presented by Dr. Todd Sink
Aquaculture Extension Specialist, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
Director, TAMU Aquatic Diagnostics Laboratory
Description:
This 1-hour how-to educational webinar will unravel common pond myths and mis-management practices related to water quality. The pond myths webinar from last year was our most popular webinar to date, and yet 2 hours (and a third hour for questions) was not sufficient to cover the numerous pond myths that exist (we covered 42 myths). We are back again this year to go deeper and dispel yet more myths, this time specifically related to water quality. Often it is more difficult to “re-educate” pond owners to dispel long held myths and mis-management practices than it is to educate a new pond owner with no pre-existing “knowledge”. Water quality myths will be addressed along with the science and reasoning behind the correct management strategies that should be employed when issues are encountered. A 30-minute live Q&A session will follow, allowing you to ask questions and address your specific challenges.
