ALCA?EUR??,,????'???s Landscape Maintenance Training Manual Now Available in Spanish

The Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA) has created a Spanish version of their popular training resource, Landscape Training Manual for Maintenance Technicians. This manual is the first of a three-volume series of training manuals to be developed for Hispanic landscape technicians. Later this year, Spanish versions of the Landscape Training Manual for Installation Technicians and Landscape Training Manual for Irrigation Technicians will also be available. Filled with detailed tables, charts, landscape drawings and photographs, the manual offers companies a training resource that can improve field performance. It features comprehensive information for turf maintenance, spring/fall cleanup, turf types, aeration, chemical applications, weeds and pests, diseases, plant care, equipment operation, basic irrigation maintenance and snow removal. For Hispanic Certified Landscape Technician (CLT) candidates, this manual, plus the upcoming companion installation and irrigation manuals, will serve as a comprehensive study guide in preparing for the written and hands-on certification examinations. The manual is now available for $55 for ALCA members and $80 for nonmembers, plus shipping and handling. To order, visit the ALCA bookstore at www.alca.org or call (800) 293-5542.
