Ecological Farm Design for Pest Management In Organic Vegetable Production: Successes and Challenges on Two Farms Webinar

Presenters: Helen Atthowe and Doug O'Brien, Doug O'Brien Agricultural Consulting. This webinar will describe the more than 20 year journeys of Pinnacle Farm, San Juan Bautista, CA and Biodesign Farm, Stevensville, MT. These farms increased plant diversity though practices such as planting insectaries and hedgerows, and employed reduced tillage, pest thresholds and crop planting timing to manage pests in vegetable crops with minimal or no spraying.
