In place of face-to-face events, the University of Minnesota Extension Service will offer online workshops for growers.
That includes a Fruit and Vegetable grower workshop focused on pests, diseases and pollinators, which will be offered as a live virtual workshop from 1:30-4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 7.
The three presenters are:
- Annie Klodd, an Extension educator in fruit production, who will discuss the use of exclusion netting to deal with Spotted Wing Drosophila.
- Natalie Hoidal, an Extension educator in vegetable production, who will discuss disease prevention.
- University of Minnesota Apiculture technician Gary Reuter, who will discuss mutually beneficial habitats for pollinators and vegetable or fruit fields.
To gain access to this free workshop, register at z.umn.edu/veg or email Robin Trott at trot0053@umn.edu.
Those who would like to attend the workshop at a different time must also register. The workshop will be recorded and those who register will be sent the recording link after the live virtual workshop takes place.
