Please contact Cornell Cooperative Extension at 483-7403 for more information or to register. Registration is free. Mark your calendars and plan to attend.
This meeting, which will also serve as an introduction to and review of several field crop practices and common problems, offers an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with the fundamentals of growing and marketing pumpkins and will serve as an excellent refresher for those already in production. Seasoned pumpkin growers, as well as those considering getting into commercial pumpkin production are encouraged to attend.
Cornell Cooperative Extension Vegetable IPM Educator and Specialist, Amy Ivy will be on hand addressing several pumpkin production issues including pumpkin varieties, genetics, yield, and seed sources; options and methods currently being used to prevent and control common and lesser known insect pests and diseases (essential knowledge for any grower looking to minimize the potential for loss); and the economics of pumpkin production. The workshop will also provide a first-hand look at several varieties of field crop pumpkins being grown at the site, as well as the opportunity to speak with the grower. Cornell Cooperative Extension encourages you to take advantage of this opportunity to meet and learn from a Regional Extension Specialist and to share your ideas and concerns with her and with other gardeners and producers.
2 DEC Pesticide Applicator Recertification Credits in categories 1a, 10 and 23 are available with this workshop.
