And some non-event information sources!

 

Pest management plans from IR4 – https://www.ir4project.org/ehc/ehc-registration-support-research/env-hort-extension-resources/ They cover whitefly, thrips, downy mildew, and liverworts

 

And evaluations of efficacy and crop safety of a variety of pesticides are at https://www.ir4project.org/ehc/ehc-registration-support-research/env-hort-grower-resources/

 

And while we are on IR4 – take the survey of grower needs.  Filling out the survey gives us information to use when we request grant funds to support research and extension that helps you.  The survey is here: https://www.ir4project.org/ehc/ehc-registration-support-research/env-hort-grower-needs/
