Biological Tools an Overview of IPM for Fruit Production – NAFEX 2024 Virtual Conference, Session 7
November 9 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Alison Kutz will take a Birds Eye look at some of the innovative IPM (Integrated Pest Management) angles that growers of Blueberries, Apples, Hazelnuts, Wine Grapes and more have embraced over the last few years. From building soil with compost teas, to tackling disease and pests with microbial tools, growers have found the need to reach for new ideas. While research does its best to follow the industry lead of production growers, it’s really the farmer (and their challenges) that are willing to lead the brigade and do things differently. Where do these worlds intersect? This presentation will give examples of the use of beneficial insects with novel drone deployment over orchards, vineyards, almonds and strawberries, and share some ideas from the biological realm that will stimulate your own on-farm brainstorming.
