CCE along with NYS Integrated Pest Management and the NYS Flower Industry, Inc. will be offering an informative bio-control workshop where participants will learn how “good bugs” can be used to control “bad bugs”. Participants will learn application techniques, and how to make sure these insects are working to their advantage. Bio-controls for thrips, fungus gnats, aphids, and whitefly will help growers to begin using bio-control methods in their own greenhouse.
The workshop will take place on Friday, October, 23 from 9:30am to 12:00pm at Silverleaf Greenhouses located at 2736 State Route 208 in Walden, NY. There is a $15 fee per person to attend this workshop. Pre-registration is encouraged no later then Wednesday, October 21. For more information or to pre-register contact Teresa Rusinek at Cornell Cooperative Extension Ulster County at 845-340-3990.
DEC pesticide recertification credits have been applied for. This workshop is partially funded by a grant received from the New York Farm Viability Institute.
