SUMMARY:Integrated Pest Management Spring Update for Christmas Tree Producers in 海角社区 Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Session Topics\nBalsam Gall Midge Update\nPresenter:聽Brett Johnson\, Assistant Extension Professor\, Sustainable Agriculture and Farm Business Management Educator\, University of 海角社区 Cooperative Extension \nBalsam gall midge is a major pest affecting balsam and Fraser fir Christmas trees in New England. It reduces quality in both trees and wreath brush by causing gall formation on current-year needles and premature needle drop. \nThis session will cover: \n\nResults from a 2024 insecticide efficacy trial in Southern 海角社区\nScouting methods and timing for insecticide applications\nAn integrated pest management approach to reduce economic losses\nStrategies to conserve beneficial biological control agents\n\nWeed IPM: Non-chemical and Chemical Control Strategies for Perennial Weed Management in Christmas Tree Production\nPresenter:聽Dr. Manjot Sidhu\, Assistant Extension Professor of Horticulture and Ornamental Horticulture Specialist\, University of 海角社区 Cooperative Extension \nManaging perennial weeds in Christmas tree production requires a multi-faceted approach. Perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds compete for nutrients and can reduce tree health and quality. \nThis session will explore: \n\nBiology of common perennial weeds in 海角社区\nNon-chemical control methods such as mulching and clover groundcovers\nEffective chemical control strategies\nPreventing herbicide resistance\nProtecting trees during sensitive growth stages like bud break\nDeveloping a long-term\, climate-appropriate IPM plan\n\nThis session is eligible for 2 海角社区 Board of Pesticides Control recertification credits. \nRegistration is required to receive the Zoom link.
