IPM for Nursery, Greenhouse & Christmas Trees

IPM matters to ornamental producers, whether they have greenhouses, nurseries, Christmas tree plantations or sod farms. They all need environmentally and economically sensible ways to protect crops from insects, plant diseases, weeds, and vertebrate pests. The IPM Ornamentals program works with university researchers, extension educators, crop consultants and growers to identify pest management issues and find answers. We deliver the IPM solutions to growers through hands-on workshops, demonstrations, and publications.
Do you have questions about the trees in your Nursery or Christmas Tree farm? The Tree IPM Blog has been created as a problem-solving site for Tree Producers. If you have questions about your tree farm or nursery contact Brian Eshenaur or Betsy Lamb and we'll get it on the blog.
