SUMMARY:Integrated Pest Management for the Homeowner
DESCRIPTION:Integrated Pest Management is a strategy and decision process developed for large agricultural producers that can also be applied by homeowners to limit or avoid altogether the use of toxic chemicals. \nYou will learn how to use these principles for long-term prevention of pests and their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control\, habitat manipulation\, modification of cultural practices\, and use of resistant varieties. Whether you hire a professional landscaper or do it all yourself\, you need to know the very best practices. \nFollowing the presentation\, participants are encouraged to stay and enjoy the spring activities at the Farm. \n*Pre-registration is recommended. \nThis program is co-sponsored with the Howell Living History Farm and will include a short presentation about Howell Farm.\n*Pre-registration by email at rmgofmcprograms@gmail.com is the preferred method of signing up for programs unless otherwise noted; or call the Extension Office at 609-989-6830 during business hours. \nFree parking available at all program and event locations. \nAll Events are rain or shine. \n\n \n\nPrintable copy of our 2017 Gardening Programs and Events brochure
