Integrated Pest Management for Greenhouse Vegetable Producers

Abstract

Greenhouse and high tunnel vegetable production is increasing in New York State and the Northeast however many Extension Educators are lacking the specific experience, information and training to provide assistance to this growing industry. We believed that providing training for Extension educators in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tailored for the production system and specific pests found in vegetable production under protected environments (high tunnels and greenhouses) will lead to an increase in the adoption of IPM by growers.
