This
course will demonstrate pest management in fresh market vegetables in
both field and greenhouse (high tunnel) vegetables, primarily for those
growing for wholesale auction. A hands-on demonstration of weed, insect
and disease identification in vegetables including management options
such as inter-row cover crops, grafting, and where appropriate, spray
options will be used to educate growers. Judson Reid, Senior Extension
Associate with the CCE Cornell Vegetable Program along with CCE staff
will instruct participants and facilitate peer-based learning. Details
on each topic will focus on field observations at these farms.
DEC recertification credits will be offered.

and sign the Recertification Training Roster. The roster will be
secured by a Cornell Vegetable Program representative and only the
attendees who sit for the entire course will be awarded a certificate.
