Snapshots from setting up an #urbanIPM demonstration trial today-looking at managing flea beetles on eggplants and collards using row cover and entomopathogenic nematodes 🤓 🌱 @Jud_Reid@Harvest_NY
Fun day of maintenance for our high tunnel cover crop trial! We are looking at the effects of different cover crop mixtures, row cover and planting time on soil health #CoverCrops#SoilHealth@CornellVeg
Some snapshots of a trip exploring NYC ag- hydroponics and dirt- met new friends such as shiso, castor bean and malabar spinach. Saw some pests old and new, and beneficials hard at work. Visited an educational nursery growing native urban-adapted beneficial plants #urbanag
Any folks in the NYS urban agriculture community, help us learn your pest management needs through this brief survey forms.gle/Mdg3wnB2MofcBV…
This is part of a @CornellVeg and @Harvest_NY research project exploring non-spray pest management options for urban farmers #UrbanIPM
Gorgeous night for a vegetable meeting! Toured our potato variety trial, did some troubleshooting in carrots and tomatoes, talked laser scarecrows for bird deterrence @CornellVeg@ccecornell
And so ends another post-doc. Very grateful to @beetpathologyny, @Cornell_EVADE & @CornellAgriTech for the opportunity to study Cercospora on table beet in New York. A fantastic experience with a great team! And now to look for the next research opportunity in Australia ...
