New Northeast Vegetable and Strawberry Pest Identification Guide

ag_vmps091.jpg
…edited by Richard Bonnano and specialists from across the Northeast, 2007. A 50 page comprehensive pest identification guide that can be carried to the field to better identify pests and select appropriate management measures. It contains color photos of all of the insects, diseases, and weeds that are described in the region’s various Vegetable Management Recommendations, including photos of weeds at the seedling stage and disease symptoms on different crops.

Available from the Univ. of Mass. Bookstore (413-545-2717, umassextensionbookstore.com); $10.00 plus $5 shipping and handling (bulk rate: 80 copies @ $5 apiece plus shipping and handling).

DO YOU THINK THERE MIGHT BE ENOUGH INTEREST THAT OUR COMMUNITY HORTICULTURE PWT SHOULD BUY 80. I am not sure what shipping might them be but it might reduce the books from $15 to maybe $8?

    This publication is provided free with each 2008 PMG for Vegetables and 2008 PMG for Berry Crops, when you purchase from PMEP at Cornell.

    This publication would make a great resource for Master Gardeners. Some counties may even want to include it as part of their MG training.
