SUMMARY:Science for Self-Reliance: Gardening with Responsible Pest Management + Beneficial Habitat
DESCRIPTION:This event was originally scheduled for April 16. The date has been updated to May 20. Join MOFGA’s Crop Specialist\, Caleb Goossen\, for a discussion on organic management of common pests in the vegetable garden. Caleb will start by sharing strategies used to minimize the presence of pests from the outset using cultural practices such as promoting the presence of “beneficials”. But sometimes pests show up anyway\, despite our best efforts or during particularly challenging growing seasons. So\, Caleb will also discuss what can be done when pests emerge. Click here to learn more About the speaker: Caleb has a bachelor’s degree in plant biology and sustainable agriculture from Hampshire College and he completed his PhD from the University of Vermont\, where he studied the fatty acid content of storage crops. He farmed organic vegetables in Vermont for nine years before graduate school. He also has experience with organic heirloom seed production and organic orchard maintenance on farms in New Zealand.
