Getting off on the right foot in the new year is important personally AND in your greenhouse, especially when it comes to pest management.
Two of our Canadian greenhouse experts gave some great talks on where, when and how to sanitize in your greenhouse to avoid pest outbreaks, and new research findings on dipping vegetative cuttings to reduce incoming pests.
