Join a webinar from 12 noon – 1pm (AEST) on Thursday 19 August which will outline the elements of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in any crop, but particularly in potatoes.
Discussing specific examples from Australian potato production, the webinar will cover the most important biological, cultural and chemical options available to growers.
Examples of how pesticides can be chosen based on their IPM fit will also be discussed.
The webinar will be presented by experienced entomologist Dr Paul Horne, who is the owner and director of IPM Technologies Pty Ltd.
