It’s almost time for the greenhouse industry’s selection of minor use pesticide priorities for Nova Scotia crops, and we hope you can join us! This new session for greenhouse growers will take place virtually via Zoom on Friday, November 19^th from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. For any questions, please contact Talia Plaskett at tplaskett@perennia.ca

Perennia’s minor use representative, Michelle Cortens, and Laura Anderson, NSDA’s provincial minor use coordinator, will briefly outline the process. Then as a group you will discuss the priority pest control needs for insects, weed control, and diseases. If you have potential solutions on your radar (registered in other crops or uses) or have heard of products you might be interested in, please bring those along as well.

Any grower is welcome to attend, so if you know of someone who would like to attend please let Talia know. If you can’t make the meeting, please send her your critical pest issues and any potential solutions for consideration at the meeting. If you could please RSVP for the session, that would be very helpful with preparations.

The selected priorities will then be submitted on behalf of the province and used in ranking the national priorities.
