This workshop highlights farmer-driven innovations for managing vegetable pests in Northeastern agricultural systems. Participants will learn insights from regional trials on paper mulches, strategic planting dates, biological control with fungi, and integrated onion pest management. Attendees will leave with practical, field-tested tools to reduce plastic use, minimize pesticide reliance, and enhance climate resilience on diversified farms. This workshop sponsored by the USDA Transition to Organic Partnership Program.
