Tune into this two-part virtual discussion series with seasoned growers and share your tips and tricks!
The second session of this discussion series will focus on pest and disease management for organic vegetable production. We’ll cover pesticides and fungicides, the use of beneficial insects, and understanding pest life cycles for improved row crop management.
What new management techniques will you be trialing this year? What are your tried-and-true methods of managing your farm’s most pervasive pests? Bring your questions and solutions!
This series is an informal opportunity for experienced vegetable farmers to connect with each other, share challenges and successes, and chat about farming. Come to share or simply to listen. Experienced farm apprentices are also welcome to join!
You can also register to attend our first session, where we will discuss crop fertility measures, pre and post-transplant.
