IPM Field Walk

Event date/time: 
Tuesday, August 2, 2016 - 4:00pm to 6:00pm

In this series, learn to identify and scout for vegetable pests and select integrated pest management strategies that work for you, whether you are an experienced farmer, or just starting out, organically certified or not! We will use pheromone traps to monitor pests, use a microscope to identify plant pathogens, and learn to scout in multiple vegetable crops with UMass Extension Vegetable Program staff Katie Campbell-Nelson, and Plant Diagnostician Angie Madeiras. Scouting will be followed by a discussion of effective control strategies with growers in attendance. Bring a hand lens if you have one. Supported in part by funding provided by USDA-NIFA Extension Implementation Program, Award No. 2014-70006-22579

This field walk has been approved for 2 pesticide credits in the vegetable category
