Learn to scout for common diseases, insects and weed pests in greenhouse production
ITHACA, N.Y. — Cornell Integrated Pest Management, in collaboration with the University of Vermont and the University of Maine, has announced the return of its popular Greenhouse Scout School.
This seven-week webinar series is designed to help greenhouse owners, managers, and employees effectively scout for common diseases, insects and weed pests in greenhouse production.
Participants will learn to identify major greenhouse pests, improve the accuracy and efficiency of scouting, communicate findings clearly with growers and owners and access reliable resources for pest management.
Sessions will take place on Thursdays from January 22 through March 5, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Both per-session and full-certificate enrollment options are available.
Registration for the certificate program is $300 and includes all seven sessions, scouting equipment, electronic resources and opportunities for in-depth discussions with presenters and fellow students. The registration deadline for the certificate program is January 9.
Participants may also register for individual, non-certificate sessions at $25 each or $125 for all
seven. Registrations must be received at least one business day before attending a session.
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Recertification Credits have been applied for in categories 1a, 3a, 3c, 24, and 25.
