May 27, 6pm: Cleaning, Sanitizing, & Disinfecting in the Era of COVID-19

There are differences among cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting that are important to understand in developing new protocols for your farm during the pandemic and in general for routine sanitation. We will cover the basic principles behind these terms and discuss what we know (and don’t know) so far about how to apply them on your farm this season.

1 pesticide recertification credit is available from this webinar. Information on how to get this credit will be provided at the start of the webinar.

Upcoming Topics

  • June 10, 6-7pm: Greenhouse Fertigation with Judson Reid from Cornell Cooperative Extension
    Greenhouse growing, whether for transplants, potted plants or those grown to maturity; requires precision management of pH and nutrient levels. How can we achieve a known level of parts per million of nitrogen?  How much acid is required to achieve optimal irrigation water pH? Is this possible with organic or conventional inputs? In this workshop we’ll do our best to explore these questions.”
