The in-person gathering of the Northeast Greenhouse Conference (NEGC) has been postponed to 2021, but event organizers still want to provide a useful and timely educational experience for past grower attendees, as well as the rest of the horticulture industry.
Beginning on Nov. 4, a weekly webinar series from the NEGC will offer a closer look at improving plant quality through insect and disease management, using plant growth regulators, and keeping surfaces clean.
The speaker list includes several names familiar to ornamentals growers, including:
- Dan Gilrein of Cornell University on pest management in mums
- Suzanne Wainwright-Evans of Buglady Consulting on how to be successful with biocontrols
- Margery Daughtrey of Cornell on common disease issues in mums
- Mary Hausbeck of Michigan State University on thwarting root rots
- Chris Currey of Iowa State University on the use of plant growth regulators in young plants
- Rosa Raudales of the University of Connecticut on the importance of surface sanitation in preventing the spread of plant pathogens.
