Please save the date for our annual Selection of Minor Use Pesticide Priorities for Nova Scotia crops on Monday, December 1. The sessions will be in person at the Perennia office at 28 Aberdeen Street, Kentville at the following times:
10
AM - Vegetables
12
PM - Wine grapes
1 PM - Berries
There will be snacks and we look forward to everyone connecting again in person for these sessions. Your group will be guided through the different crops to assess the priority pest control needs for insects, weeds/growth regulators, and diseases. If you have potential solutions on your radar (products registered in other crops or for other uses) or have heard of products you might be interested in, please bring those along as well.
Any
grower or industry representative is welcome to attend, so if you know of
someone who would like to attend please let me know so I can include them
on the contact list. It is highly recommended that you attend the meeting but
if you cannot make it, please send me your critical pest issues and any
potential solutions for consideration. The selected priorities will then
be submitted on behalf of the province and used in ranking the national
priorities.
looking forward to seeing you there, Sonny Murray
