IPM Update List-serves for Greenhouse and Christmas Tree Growers

Abstract

Growers’ requests for a system of ‘pest alerts’ led to the development of the Christmas Tree and Greenhouse IPM Updates email list-serves. The approximately weekly emails include information on disease, insect, and weed pest management in a series of short items with links for additional information. The updates serve as a means for two-way information exchange between IPM staff and growers and industry representatives.
