As each new season arrives, greenhouse growers face fresh challenges for continually refining production systems and improving crop quality. Winter is a fine time to bone up on some basics. University of Massachusetts Extension’s Greenhouse Crops & Floriculture Program is inviting growers to gather Jan. 14 at the Waterford Regency Inn and Conference Center to learn the latest practices for managing pests, managing the greenhouse environment, and optimizing plant nutrition to make the most of your time and budget.

Scheduled presentations include:

  • Bad, Bad Botrytis – Dr. Angela Madeiras
  • Identification of Major Greenhouse Insect and Mite Pests – Dr. Anna Wallingford
  • Using Guardian Plants to Manage Insect Pests in Greenhouse Crops – Carol Glenister
  • Improving Fertilizer Efficiency in the Greenhouse – Dr. Fred Hulme

Three pesticide re-certification credits in Massachusetts category 26 (greenhouse) have been approved for this program, valid for equivalent categories in all New England states.
