TunnelTalk – Integrated Pest Management of High Tunnel Pests

High tunnels provide optimal conditions for plants (and their pests!) to thrive. Integrated pest management (IPM) relies on a combination of strategies to prevent pest populations from reaching damaging levels.

In April's TunnelTalk, Talia and guest speaker Cheryl Frank Sullivan emphasize cultural and biological strategies to reduce key pests (i.e., aphids, spider mites and whiteflies) and conserve their wild and commercially-reared natural enemies.
