The "Scouting your Ornamental Crops like a Pro" webinar is now available for growers.
If scouting has been a challenge for you or your employees in the past, you're a new IPM scout, or you feel like you could use a refresher, then this webinar is for you.
This recorded webinar is applicable to garden retail centres as well as ornamental and some nursery crop producers. I cover topics such as how best to spend your time, tools of the trade, what data you should be recording, as well as tips and tricks from the pros.
Recorded webinar: Scouting Ornamental Crops
Hosted by Dr. Sarah Jandricic, the Greenhouse Floriculture Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Specialist for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Agribusiness (OMAFA). She works directly with Ontario growers to help manage pest issues and find research solutions. She has worked continuously in floriculture IPM for over 25 years.
Scouting is your first line of defense against all sorts of insect and disease pests. We all know the basics of crop monitoring, but can you level up your scouting for a more reliably clean crop? This talk will provide tips and tricks learned from Dr. Jandricic's career working with ornamental growers, consultants, and industry reps in Niagara and beyond.
