Presented by OMAFRA horticulture specialists, Hannah Fraser – Entomologist, Katie Goldenhar – Pathologist, Kristen Obeid – Weed Management
This series on pesticide resistance management is to give field growers with fruit, vegetable and specialty crops a holistic view on pesticide resistance. We will cover basics of pesticide resistance then dive deeper into insecticide, herbicide and fungicide resistance and management.
