Greenhouse pesticide webinar series starts Thursday

From Cornell Cooperative Extension, Floriculture program

 

In greenhouses, pesticide resistance can lead to over-use of pesticides as well as a reduction in yields and crop quality due to poor pest control. To address this topic the New York State Integrated Pest Management program has developed a series of 1-hour educational webinars on the complex issue of pesticide resistance management.

 

To attend a webinar visit this webpage at the scheduled time and click on the link under the 'Join the online meeting' column. There is no fee to participate. If you miss any, the archived sessions will be available at the website three days after the presentation.
