Cornell University is partnering with the University of Vermont and the University of Maine to offer a webinar series on scouting for disease, insect, and weed pests of greenhouse ornamentals.
The best strategies for pest scouting, according to growers from across the industry, include starting early, staying consistent, and getting your whole team involved.
One of the most important aspects of scouting is record keeping, which helps you identify historical problems and come up with preventative strategies for future crops.
An experienced grower recommends keeping everybody on your team in charge of pest monitoring, as early detection makes it more likely you will find a pest before it grows out of control.
