\n

Join us for a webinar on managing pests in cut flower production. Cut flowers are a high-value ornamental crop, but even minor pest damage can significantly reduce their marketability. Having an integrated pest management plan in place before the season begins is essential to minimizing that damage. In this session, we\u2019ll cover the biology of key insect pests affecting cut flowers and focus on a range of management strategies. Topics will include cultural prevention methods, along with the basic requirements and key considerations for effective pesticide applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
