Webinar Series Focusing On Vegetable And Small Fruit Production
December 5, 2012 Penn State’s Extension Vegetable & Small Fruit Program Team presents a series of webinars to keep interested parties informed on critical production issues. The series provides convenient access to timely updates in commercial vegetable and small fruit production for Extension educators, producers, and industry representatives in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. Topics include irrigation, nutrient management, GAPs, pollinators, and cucurbit pest management strategies.
These webinars are most relevant for those involved in commercial production (production for sale) of vegetables on any scale. Master Gardeners may participate, but please be aware that webinar content targets commercial vegetable production. Webinars may be viewed by groups at one location, but the expectation is that each participant is registered separately for the webinar series. There are no group or site registrations.
