Monitoring Corn Pests with Trapping [CANCELED]

This event is part of a series of North Country Twilight Meetings.

This summer, UNH Extension is teaming up with four farms to host a series of twilight meetings. Whether you farm, aspire to farm, or just want to learn a few tips for managing your garden, this series could be for you.  At each event, we will take on-site tours and dive deep into each topic. Come to one, or as many as you like.  No pre-registration is required and all events are free. Pesticide applicator recertification credits are pending.

Events in this series:

• June 15 - Outsmart Your Weeds, Dalton, NH
• July 12 - Reduced Tillage as a Climate Adaptation Strategy, East Thetford, VT
• August 24 - CANCELED - Monitoring Corn Pests with Trapping, Northumberland, NH
• September 14 - Diagnosing Plant Diseases on the Farm, Bethlehem, NH

At the Monitoring Corn Pests with Trapping meeting, we will talk about the use of insect traps to monitor the presence/absence of common corn pests like corn earworm, European corn borer, and fall army worm.  Monitoring allows for data-driven decisions about whether or not a pesticide is needed.  We will discuss other vegetable pests and management tactics as well.  Bring your questions.
