POSTPONED to SEPTEMBER 12TH
Join UMass Extension educators and specialists at the UMass Crop Research and Education Center to tour our ongoing research and participate in a roundtable discussion. Research trials include: cucurbit disease management, cabbage aphid control, and nitrogen contributions from cover crops for vegetable fertility. After a field tour, we will have a roundtable discussion with UMass Extension Specialists where you can get crop or pest management questions answered over dinner!
