Insects and mites that damage plants are like
perpetrators of a crime and many times when you arrive
at the crime scene, you don’t see the perp standing over
the victim. You must learn to use the clues, symptoms
and signs to identify ‘who done it’.
In this workshop you will learn:
- The ways insects and mites damage plants
- Who are the chewers (beetles, caterpillars, sawflies,
grasshoppers, etc.) and suckers (aphids, scales,
hoppers, true bugs, mites), how they damage plants, and
live their curious lives
- How to recognize five major categories of plant damage
and associate this damage with the perpetrators that
cause them
- Chemical and non-chemical approaches for mitigating
damage caused by insects and mites
