Learning Opportunity: Online Greenhouse Scouting School This Winter

Posted by Brian Sparks|January 13, 2024

Cornell University is partnering with the University of Vermont and the University of Maine to offer a six-week webinar series on scouting for disease, insect, and weed pests of greenhouse ornamentals, although the principles will apply to other crops. During the greenhouse scouting school, attendees can learn how to identify the major pests of greenhouse floriculture crops, make scouting faster and easier, communicate with growers and owners, and find resources to help.

The program takes place Feb. 13-March 26, 2024, and attendees can register for the entire certification program or select individual topics from a webinar series.

Sessions will be led by Stephanie Barnett, Margery Daughtrey, Betsy Lamb, Elise Lobdell, John Sanderson and Cheryl Sullivan.
