Home Orchard Pest Management

One of the most challenging thing about growing your own fruit is knowing how to identify the insect pests and diseases that might afflict them.  Learn the basics of pest and disease identification and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the home orchard. Hands-on, scouting, monitoring, placement of traps, etc. will be covered.  This workshop will be partially out of doors, so please dress appropriately for potentially cold, wet or muddy conditions. If attending morning workshop, please bring a bag lunch. 

$50 for afternoon workshop. If you also attend morning workshop on establishing an orchard, price is reduced for both to $90. 

Led by Dr. Jaime Pinero and Ms. Liz Garofalo.
