Field Workshop: Organic Pest Management

New Entry Sustainable Farming Project

Ogonowski Memorial Fields, 126 Jones Ave, Dracut, MA

Thursday, June 16, 2011

4–6 p.m.

 

It was a long, hard, and dormant winter here in the Northeast, and if you think you’re ready for some fresh local produce, just wait to see how hungry the bugs are!

 

Please join New Entry in the fields on Thursday, June 16th, to learn about identifying and organically managing common insect pests in the Northeast. We will cover management practices such as prevention, cultural controls and the appropriate application of organic (OMRI listed) pesticides. New Entry farmers are required to attend this mandatory pesticide training.

 

See you in the fields!
