SUMMARY:Organic Pest and Weed Management for Service Providers in the South
DESCRIPTION:Join OFRF for a webinar designed specifically for extension agents\, technical service providers (TSPs)\, and others who support organic and transitioning farmers in the South. \nPest and weed pressure is one of the most significant challenges facing organic producers — affecting crop yields\, product quality\, and the economic sustainability of farming operations. In the hot\, humid conditions of the southern region\, these pressures are especially intense\, making effective\, NOP-compliant management strategies essential knowledge for anyone advising farmers in the field. \nIn this 75-minute session\, we will walk through the most common insects\, diseases\, and weeds found across the SSARE region — from armyworm and root-knot nematode to pigweed and nutsedge — and connect that regional context to the pest management requirements outlined in the National Organic Program. Drawing on research conducted in the South\, the session will focus on practical\, science-backed strategies that extension agents and TSPs can bring directly to the farmers they serve\, covering approaches to weed management\, insect and disease control\, and the “many little hammers” IPM framework that underpins organic production. There will be time for live Q&A at the end of the session. This webinar is eligible for 2.0 CEU credits in Integrated Pest Management. Presented by OFRF\, with support from the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education (SSARE) program. \nRegister for the event here!
