Effective Management of Thrips and Botrytis
Monday, July 17 • 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Botrytis and thrips are challenging to control using currently available pesticides and management strategies. Working with leading University researchers, AFE-funded research has made new discoveries to minimize the losses from these pests. In this session, learn these discoveries and best practices for managing and controlling thrips and botrytis, and how to make the best management decisions for your greenhouse. Discussions also include addressing fungicide resistance and the opportunity to use biological controls. This presentation connects you to expert researchers complete with Q&A. Resources can be supplied following the presentation.
